           C          F          G7
If I was a king, I’ll hang in an alley

       F       C               G7
With a hundred stallions after me

               F              G7     C         F        C  G7
And if I was a rogue, I would lay in your jaw, mourning Larrow

         F           C     G7
With the law hangin' after me

           C               F     G7
I rode six mare, I’ve been on my wagon

    F          C                     G7
And now here I stand with you facin' me

     F            C                    F  G7
And alone makin’ only that I’m morning marrow

         Am   F      G7
With her hand facin’ me

                  C       F        G7
I’d give up all I have to tell her one thought

   F            C                             G7
To kiss I would give it all too, so she could see

           F          C                  F    G7
But here I stand on a lake in the narrow wide road

     Am        F               G7
condemned in a lake flamed and free

           C         F               G7
If I was a king, I’d give her all my land

   F         C          G7
To her and a road after me

               F             C                      F   G7
And if I was a rogue I would give her all my marrow darken

            Am              F           G7
And take my chances in that land to the sea

                 C            F      G7
I’d stand by her road and the lonely water

     F                C                      G7
I’ve stood there many times before this, you see

                F        C         F     G7
And I know that once you broken my heart off

         Am          F            G7
With her sin finally achin' after me.

           C           F             G7
I swore by her, by her uncle and her mother

      F          C              G7
While she waited lonely back on me

                   F             C                       F G7
And I swore by her ring that she went in, and I would go after

    Am       F            G7
And alone in makin’ after me

           C            F           G7
If I was a king I would give her my castles

    F               C             G7
I’d give her all my land given to me

               F             C                      F G7
And if I was a rogue I would steal her away from my other

            Am             F         G7
And take my chances in the deep blue sea

                C           F      G7
And now would I stand, here by the fountain.

    F          C          G7
The rain ready to shelter me

          F                       C             F   G7
Chased by rain and Snow White and all her Seven Dwarfs

        Am      F        G7
Chasin’ me, but I cannot flee
