[Verse 1]
Dm                     F        CCold blows the wind to my true love
Dm                   AmAnd gently drops the rain
Dm             F        CI only had but one true love
DmAnd in Greenwood she lies slain

[Verse 2]
F                   C       AmI'll do as much for my true love

Dm                   F       CI'll sit and mourn along her grave
DmFor a twelve-month and a day

[Verse 3]
Dm                             F       CWhen the twelve months and one day was past
Dm                  AmThe ghost began to speak:
Dm                      F      C"Why sit thou'st here along my grave
DmAnd will not let me sleep?"

[Verse 4]
F                         C          Am"There's one thing that I want, sweetheart
Dm                        AmThere's one thing that I crave
Dm                            F         CAnd that is a kiss from your lily white lips
DmThen I'll go from your grave"

[Verse 5]
Dm                   F       C"My lips they are as cold as clay
Dm                       AmMy breath smells earthy strong
Dm                 F         CAnd if you kiss my cold clay lips
DmYour days they won't be long"

F                          C   AmGo fetch me water from the desert
Dm                     AmAnd blood from out of stone
Dm                      F           CGo fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast
DmThat a young man never had known"

[Verse 7]
Dm                    F   C'Twas down in Cupid's Garden
Dm                    AmWhere you and I would walk
Dm                     F      CThe finest flower that ever I saw
DmIs withered to a stalk

[Verse 8]
F                          C         Am"The stalk is withered and dry, sweetheart
Dm                     AmThe flower will never return
Dm                  F        CAnd since I lost my one true love
DmWhat can I do but mourn?"

[Verse 9]
Dm                    F         C"When shall we meet again, sweetheart?
Dm                   AmWhen shall we meet again?"
Dm                           F         C"Where the oaken leaves that fall from the trees
DmAre green and spring up again"
