Fairport Convention – To Althea From Prison (Ukulele)

F     C         G      C         F               G
WHEN LOVE WITH UNCONFINED WINGS HOVERS WITHIN MY GAZE

   C     G     C                F             C
AND MY DIVINE ALTHEA BRINGS TO WHISPER AT MY GRATES

    G              C                  F                G
WHEN I LIE TANGLED IN HER HAIR AND FETTERED WITH HER EYES

C          G       C               F              C
BIRDS THAT WANTON WING THE AIR OH KNOW SUCH LIBERTY

F     C       G        C                  F           G
WHEN FLOWING CUPS RUN SWIFTLY ROUND WITH NO ALLAYING THAMES

C             G           C                 F                 C
OUR CARELESS HEADS WITHE ROSES CROWNED OUR HEARTS WITH LOYAL FLAME

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

FISHES THAT TIPPLE IN THE DEEP OH KNOW SUCH LIBERTY

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

C      G            C           F             C
MINDS INNOCENT AND QUIET MAKE THAT AS A HERMITAGE

  G               C               F             G
IF I HAVE FREEDOM IN MY LOVE AND IN MY SOUL AM FREE

C       G           C            F          C
ANGELS ALONE WOULD SOAR ABOVE ENJOY SUCH LIBERTY.
