Steeleye Span – All Things Are Quite Silent (Guitar)

    Bm               E                      Bm
All things are quite silent, each mortal at rest

               F#m  E        F#m
When me and my true love lay snug in one nest

       E           D              E        D
When a bold set of ruffians broke into our cave

         Bm             E                        Bm    A  F#m
And they forced my dear jewel to plough the salt wave

         Bm          E                          Bm
I begged hard for my darling, as I would for my life

                      F#m E     F#m
But they'd not listen to  me, although a fond wife

            E              D               E            D
Saying, the king must have sailors, to the seas he must go

         Bm        E                     Bm   A  F#m   Bm  A  F#m
And they left me lamenting in sorrow and woe

        Bm               E                          Bm
Through green fields and meadows, we oft times have walked

                  F#m E       F#m
And the fond recollections, together have talked

          E            D            E           D
Where the lark and the blackbird so sweetly did sing

        Bm               E                          Bm    A  F#m
And the lovely thrushes' voices made the valleys to ring

      Bm            E                      Bm
Now although I'm forsaken, I won't be cast down

                 F#m  E          F#m
Who knows but my true love, some day may return

         E        D            E           D
And will make me amends for my trouble and strife

    Bm        E                              Bm    A  F#
And me and my true love might live happy for life
