One warm summer night, he rode into sight

     C    Am              G          Am
On a wild mare that was so perfectly white

                 C              G
I dreamed he'd return and I was right

C               G             D7                 Am
Wishes can come true when you wish with all your might
[Instrumental] N.C. Am Am Am Am [Verse]
Am
One look in his eyes and I had realized

    C           Am         G         Am
His life was so simple, he had no disguise

                C                        G
He lived day to day, no promise he would stay

    C            G         D7              Am
But in these few words, he stole my heart away
[Instrumental] Am Am [Verse]
Am
He said, "My life's not to lead through power or greed

  C        Am             G         Am
I am but a poor man, when I'm cut I bleed

              C                   G
A more humble man, you never will meet

    C          G         D7         Am
And here is my heart for only you to keep"
[Instrumental] Am [Chorus]
                  D7   Am
In the shade of a willow tree

                D7       N.C. Am
My poor peasant promised to   me
[Instrumental] Am Am Am Am [Verse]
Am
No scholarly thoughts, he couldn't pay high costs

    C            Am              G       Am
And sometimes it feels like he's totally lost

                 C                   G
But he said this true and he said it loud

   C              G                D7    Am
"I promise you my heart, with this solemn vow"
[Instrumental] Am Am [Verse]
Am
One warm summer night, he rode out of sight

     C    Am               G         Am
On a wild mare that was so perfectly white

                 C                      G
I dreamed I'd go with, for ( ? ), I was right

C               G             D7                Am
Wishes can come true when you wish with all your might
[Chorus]
                  D7     Am
In the shade of a willow tree

                D7          Am
My poor peasant promised to me
[Chorus]
                  D7   Am
In the shade of a willow tree

My poor peasant promised to me
[Outro]
                  D7       Am
La-la-la la-la-la la la-la-la

                D7          Am
My poor peasant promised to me

                  D7       Am
La-la-la la-la-la la la-la-la

                D7          Am
My poor peasant promised to me

                  D7   Am
In the shade of a willow tree

                D7          Am
My poor peasant promised to me
