Misc Traditional – Shes Like The Swallow (Guitar)

Em           Bm           Em      C
She's like a swallow that flies so high,

Em           C          Bm
She's like a river that never runs dry,

Em             C        Bm         Em
She's like the sunshine on the lee shore,

    Em        C               Em
She loves her love and love's no more.

Em               Bm         Em            C
'Tis out in the meadow this fair maid did go,

Em          C      Bm
A picking a lovely primrose,

Em           C           Bm       Em
The more she plucked the more she pulled,

      Em        C         Em
Until she's got her apron full.

Em             Bm     Em   C
She climbed on yonder hill above,

Em        C         Bm
To give a rose unto her love,

Em           C        Bm       Em
She gave him one, she gave him three,

    Em       C          Em
She gave her heart for company.

Em          Bm       Em         C
And as they sat on yonder hill above,

Em        C             Bm
To give a rose unto her love.

Em           C        Bm       Em
She gave him one, she gave him three

    Em       C          Em
She gave her heart for company

Em          Bm     Em     C
And as they sat on yonder hill

Em              C       Bm
His heart grew hard, so harder still.

Em         C          Bm     Em
He has two hearts instead of one;

    Em           C               Em
She says, young man what have you done.

Em           Bm          Em   C
How foolish, foolish you must be,

Em          C        Bm
To think I loved no one but thee;

Em            C        Bm     Em
This world's not made for one alone;

    Em      C           Em
I take delight in every home.
