[Verse 1]
Am Dm I shall tell of a hunter who's life was undone Am E7 By the cruel hand of evil and the setting of the sun Am Dm His arrow was loosed and it flew through the dark Am F E7 Am And his true love was slain as the sha---ft found its mark
[Chorus]
C Well she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took E7 Am F E7 Am her for a swan, and oh and alas it was sh---e Polly Von
[Verse 2]
Am Dm He ran up beside her and found it was she Am E7 He turned away his head for he could not bear to see Am Dm As he lifted her up he found she was dead Am F E7 Am And a fountain of tears for his true love he shed
[Chorus]
C Well she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took E7 Am F E7 Am her for a swan, and oh and alas it was sh---e Polly Von
[Verse 3]
Am Dm He bore her away to his home by the sea Am E7 Crying father, oh father I've murdered poor Polly Am Dm I've killed my sweet love in the flower of her life Am F E7 Am I'd always intended that she'd be my wife
[Chorus]
C Well she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took E7 Am F E7 Am her for a swan, and oh and alas it was sh---e Polly Von
[Verse 4]
Am Dm He roamed near the place where his true love was slain Am E7 He wept bitter tears, but his cries were all in vain Am Dm As looked to the lake, a swan glided by Am F E7 Am And the sun slowly sank in the gray of the sky
[Chorus]
C Well she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took E7 Am F E7 Am her for a swan, and oh and alas it was sh---e Polly Von
