A E
[Verse 1]
A A young gentleman came riding past, E on a snow blue winter's day A He asked to drink by our fire E and I was pleased to let him stay. A He drank there quietly for a while, E and then he turned and said to me : A E "Your eyes are green like summer grass, A E your lips are red, like a fresh cut rose. A E Your hair is soft, like an Irish stream, A E and your voice is filled with sweet beauty."
[Chorus]
D And the last words I heard him say A D E A were, "I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.
[Verse 2]
A And the night will come, but I won't sleep, E as I watch the stars that lead him. A I cannot place where he is, E but still my heart goes with him, A I'm saving all my Sunday clothes E for the day that I'll be leaving. A E Father knows, my sister knows, A E and my friends, they're happy for me. A E And the priest he says, you should thank God, A E for the blessing, of such beauty.
[Chorus]
D And the last words I heard him say A D E A D were, "I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day. A D E A "I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.
