[Verse 1]
  D             D          C         G
[tab]  Em             C          G         Em
I wonder what's keeping her out of my sight

  C              Am           G        Em
It is little she knows of the pain I endure

  D                D            C           G
For she would not stay from me this night, I am sure
[Verse 2]
 D               D          C         G
Oh love, I'm not coming my cause to advance?

    Em            C             G          Em
oh love, I'm not waiting for a far better chance?

             C                Am             G          Em
You were my first and false true love, and It's lately I knew

          D           D             C         G
That the fonder I loved you, the falser you grew
[Verse 3]
 D                 D          C                G
Green grass it grows bonny, spring water runs clear

  Em            C             G          Em
I'm weary and lonesome for the love of my dear

             C                Am             G          Em
You were my first and false true love, and It's lately I knew

       D           D             C           G
That the fonder I loved you, the falser you grew
[Verse 4]
   D             D         C          G
For I can love lightly and I can love strong

  Em            C                  G              Em
And I can love the old love 'til a new love comes along

  C                Am               G              Em
I just told you I loved you for to give your heart ease

 D           D                        C           G
And it's when I'm far from you, I'll love whom I please
[Verse 5]
 D             D          C         G
I've gold in my pocket and love in my heart

        Em            C             G          Em
For I can't love the old thats got two sweethearts

           C         Am                    G        Em
You're my first and false love but it's lately I knew

        D           D             C           G
That the fonder I loved you, the falser you grew
[Verse 6]
          D           D             C         G
So come all ye young men, take a warning from me

  Em            C             G          Em
Don't build your nest at the top of a tree

          C               Am             G          Em
for the leaves they will wither and the branches decay

             D                  D             C        G
and like a false hearted young girl, it will soon fade away
