Misc Traditional – The Lambs On The Green Hills (Guitar)

    G             D                Em                C
The lambs on the green hills, they sport and they play

    G          Em             Am            D
And many strawberries grow round the salt sea

    G          D            Em           C
And many strawberries grow round he salt sea

    G          Em              C      G
How many's the ship sails the ocean –

    G                  D          Em            C
The bride and bride's party, to church they did go

    G                   Em          Am            D
The bride she rode foremost, she bears the best show

    G          D             Em             C
And I followed after with my heart full of woe

    G          Em      C           G
To see my love wed to another -

    G            D           Em               C
The next time I saw her, was in the Church stand

     G             Em          Am           D
Gold ring on her finger, her love by the hand

     G          Em         G              C
Says I my wee lassie, I will be your man

     G           Em      C          G
Although you are wed to another –

    G           D            Em           C
The last time I saw her, was on the way home

   G           Em           Am                 D
 I rode on before her not knowing where to roam

     G         D          Em           C
Says I my wee lassie, I will be the one

  G              Em       C         G
Although you are wed to another –

      G              D             Em          C
Stop, stop says the groomsman, til I speak a word

      G           Em                Am             D
Would you venture your life on the point of my sword

     G           D                Em                C
For courting so slowly, you have lost this fair maid

      G            Em           C            G
So be gone for you ne'er will enjoy her –

     G          D          Em             C
Now dig me my grave, both long wide and deep

    G            Em         Am           D
And sprinkle it over with flowers so sweet

    G            D            Em             C
And lay me down in it for to take my last sleep

    G          Em             C           G
For that's the best way to forget her. –
