Fairport Convention – To Althea From Prison (Guitar)

G     D         A      D         G               A
WHEN LOVE WITH UNCONFINED WINGS HOVERS WITHIN MY GAZE

   D     A     D                G             D
AND MY DIVINE ALTHEA BRINGS TO WHISPER AT MY GRATES

    A              D                  G                A
WHEN I LIE TANGLED IN HER HAIR AND FETTERED WITH HER EYES

D          A       D               G              D
BIRDS THAT WANTON WING THE AIR OH KNOW SUCH LIBERTY

G     D       A        D                  G           A
WHEN FLOWING CUPS RUN SWIFTLY ROUND WITH NO ALLAYING THAMES

D             A           D                 G                 D
OUR CARELESS HEADS WITHE ROSES CROWNED OUR HEARTS WITH LOYAL FLAME

A                      D                   G                      A
WHEN FIRST IN GRIEF IN WINE WE STEEP WHEN HEALTHS AND LAUGHS RUN FREE

D            A             D       G           D
FISHES THAT TIPPLE IN THE DEEP OH KNOW SUCH LIBERTY

G      D          A       D            G         A
STONE WALLS DO NOT A PRISON MAKE NOR IRON BARS A CAGE

D      A            D           G             D
MINDS INNOCENT AND QUIET MAKE THAT AS A HERMITAGE

  A               D               G             A
IF I HAVE FREEDOM IN MY LOVE AND IN MY SOUL AM FREE

D       A           D            G          D
ANGELS ALONE WOULD SOAR ABOVE ENJOY SUCH LIBERTY.
