Peter, Paul and Mary 1963 (American Folk / Come All You Fair and Tender Ladies) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_All_You_Fair_and_Tender_Ladies G A Bm D 2x

D           A        G      D
Come all ye fair and tender ladies,

             A       F#m        Bm
Take warning how you court your men.

                 F#m        Bm       D   F#m
They're like the stars on a summer's mornin'

                Bm       F#m          A
First they'll appear and then they're gone.

D        A       G      D
If I had known before I courted

             A     F#m        Bm
What all his lyin' could have done

                   F#m        Bm     D  F#m 
I'd have locked my heart in a box of golden

          Bm         F#m     A
And never would have courted none. 

D        A      G    D
I wish I were a tiny sparrow

          A         F#m     Bm
And I had wings and I could fly.

         F#m       Bm       D  F#m
I'd fly away to my own true lover

             Bm    F#m     A
And all he'd ask I would deny. 

 D       A     G    D
Alas I'm not a tiny sparrow

           A         F#m   Bm
I have not wings nor can I fly

            F#m      Bm        D  F#m
And on this earth in grief and sorrow

             Bm  F#m  A
I am bound until I    die. 

D           A        G      D
Come all ye fair and tender ladies,

             A       F#m        Bm
Take warning how you court your men.

                 F#m        Bm       D   F#m
They're like the stars on a summer's mornin'

                Bm       F#m          A
First they'll appear and then they're gone.
