Tam Lin Child 39 chords by Anais Mitchell

This is not really a new version or a even a correction. Its an expanded chord set for Version 1 which felt
incomplete for the way I like to learn. The difference being that this version has the chord changes posted
above each verse instead of just the first one. Kuddos to aliceanne@gmail.com for sharing.

Dm
Janet sits in her lonely room
F
Sewing a silken seam
C
And looking out on Carterhaugh
Bb    Am   (D)
Among the roses green

Dm
And Janet sits in her lonely bower
F

Sewing a silken thread
C
And longed to be in Carterhaugh
Bb    Am   (D)
Among the roses red

D
She?s let the seam fall at her heel
F
The needle to her toe
F
And she has gone to Carterhaugh
Bb    Am   (D)
As fast as she can go

D
She hadn?t pulled a rose, a rose
F
A rose, but only one
C
When then appeared him, young Tamlin
Bb    Am   (D)
Says, ?Lady, let alone?

D
?What makes you pull the rose, the rose?
F
What makes you break the tree?
C
What makes you come to Carterhaugh
Bb    Am   (D)
Without the leave of me??

D
?But Carterhaugh is not your own
F
Roses there are many
C
I?ll come and go all as I please
Bb    Am   (D)
And not ask leave of any?

D
And he has took her by the hand
F
Took her by the sleeve
C
And he has laid this lady down
Bb    Am   (D)
Among the roses green

D
And he has took her by the arm
F
Took her by the hem
C
And he has laid this lady down
Bb    Am   (D)
Among the roses red

D
There?s four and twenty ladies fair
F
Sewing at the silk
F
And Janet goes among them all
Bb    Am   (D)
Her face as pale as milk

D
And four and twenty gentlemen
F
Playing at the chess
C
And Janet goes among them all
Bb    Am   (D)
As green as any glass

D
Then up and spoke her father
F
He?s spoken meek and mild
C
?Oh, alas, my daughter
Bb    Am   (D)
I fear you go with child?

D
?And is it to a man of might
F
Or to a man of means
C
Or who among my gentlemen
Bb    Am   (D)
Shall give the babe his name??

D
?Oh, father, if I go with child
F
This much to you I?ll tell
C
There?s none among your gentlemen
Bb    Am   (D)
That I would treat so well?

D
?And, father, if I go with child
F
I must bear the blame
C
There?s none among your gentlemen
Bb    Am   (D)
Shall give the babe his name?

D
She?s let the seam fall at her hell
F
The needle to her toe
C
And she has gone to Carterhaugh
Bb    Am   (D)
As fast as she could go

D
And she is down among the weeds
F
Down among the thorn
C
When then appeared Tamlin again
Bb    Am   (D)
Says, ?Lady, pull no more?

D
?What makes you pull the poison rose?
F
What makes you break the tree?
C
What makes you harm the little babe
Bb    Am   (D)
That I have got with thee??

D
?Oh I will pull the rose, Tamlin
F
I will break the tree
C
But I?ll not bear the little babe
Bb    Am   (D)
That you have got with me?

D
?If he were to a gentleman
F
And not a wild shade
C
I?d rock him all the winter?s night
Bb    Am   (D)
And all the summer?s day"

D
?Then take me back into your arms
F
If you my love would win
C
And hold me tight and fear me not
Bb    Am   (D)
*I?ll be a gentleman?

D
?But first I?ll change all in your arms
F
Into a wild wolf
C
But hold me tight and fear me not
Bb    Am   (D)
I am your own true love?

D
?And then I?ll change all in your arms
F
Into a wild bear
C
But hold me tight and fear me not
Bb    Am   (D)
I am your husband dear?

D
?And then I?ll change all in your arms
F
Into a lion bold
C
But hold me tight and fear me not
Bb    Am   (D)
And you will love your child?

D
At first he changed all in her arms
F
Into a wild wolf
C
She held him tight and feared him not
Bb    Am   (D)
He was her own true love

D
And then he changed all in her arms
F
Into a wild bear
C
She held him tight and feared him not
Bb    Am   (D)
He was her husband dear

D
And then he changed all in her arms
F
Into a lion bold
C
She held him tight and feared him not
Bb    Am   (D)
The father of her child

D
And then he changed all in her arms
F
Into a naked man
C
She?s wrapped him in her coat so warm
Bb    Am   (D)
