Come All Ye Fair And Tender Ladies chords by Traditional

Tuning: EADGBE

Verse 1:
G      C      G
Come all ye fair and tender ladies
 G      C          D
take warning how, you court young men.
D       Am7         G
They're like a stars of a summer's morning
 G      Am7           D
they first appear, and then they're gone.

Verse 2:
G        C        G
They'll tell to you, some loving story
 G          C            D
they'll make you think, that they love you true.
D       Am7         G
Straight away they'll go, and court another
G      Am7           D
and that's the love they had for you.

Verse 3:
G     C        G
If I had known before I courted
 G     C          D
I would have never courted none.
D    Am7          G
I'd lock my heart in a box of golden
G       Am7       D
and fasten it up with a silver pin.

Verse 4:
G     C        G
Do you recall our days of courting?
G     C        D
When your head lay on my breast
D    Am7          G
You'd make me believe by the falling of your arms

That the sun rose in the west.

Verse 5:
G    C         G
I wish I was, a little sparrow
 G     C          D
and I had wings with which to fly
D    Am7          G
I'd fly away, to my false true lover
G       Am7       D
and when he'd speak, I would deny.

Verse 6:
G     C        G
But I am not a little sparrow
G     C      D
Neither have I wings to fly
D    Am7          G
So here I'll sit in grief and sorrow
G       Am7       D
