Verse:

   C       Fmaj7        Am          F
A lady was walking on a midsummer's day

     C               Fmaj7       Am          G
The birds they were whistling so merrily and gay

      C           Fmaj7              Am       G
When along came a white steed in the finest array

       Am        F               G             C
And it carried a young man these words he did say

Chorus:

     Fmaj7       C
Come live by the great moon

     Am                G
That rules the strong tide

      Fmaj7    C
Climb up on my horse, love

    G           C
And be my sweet bride

Instrumental C Fmaj7 C G Verse: I bid you good morning, this young man did say And where might you be going on such a nice day I'm walking to view, sir, the bonny blue sea For it's all I have left now that means much to me Chorus Verse: If that's all you love now, come riding with me You'll live in my castle deep under the sea You'll sleep in my gold bed, my fine silken sheets And have gifts of great beauty from all that you meet Chorus Instrumental Break C F C G Repeat x1 C G You can emphasize these notes while playing the chords above to give it a little more character.

Verse: She's up in the saddle and away they did ride The horse skipped and danced over waves on the tide Now she's only remembered by this story I tell From an old man on horseback who once knew her well Chorus x2
