Steeleye Span – Locks And Bolts (Guitar)

 C    F    G         C
'Twas over hills and over hills

               G
Over hills and valleys

      Am      F        G         Am
Where my true love was kept from me

      F      Em    G     C
Quite out of spite and malice

  F         G      C
I went down to her father's house

                 G
Enquiring for my jewel

      Am      F        G      Am
They answered me, “She is not here”

      F         Em G     C
Which proved to me so cruel

     F         G       C
This fair maid hearing of his voice

                     G
Her head put out the window

    Am        F            G       Am
She said, “My dear, you're welcome here

    F         Em    G     C
But locks and bolts do hinder”

Dm
Oh, locks and bolts

C
Locks and bolts will hinder

Dm
Oh, locks and bolts

C
Locks and bolts will hinder

   F       G          C
He stood a moment all in amaze

                 G
All in amaze and wonder

   Am        F        G       Am
At length he drew, in passion flew

    F         Em   G   C
And broke the door asunder

    F       G           C
Her uncle's servant, he being at home

                   G
Soon after him did follow

   Am           F        G         Am
He said, “Young man, you must quit here

   F       Em  G        C
Or in your own blood wallow”

   F        G             C
He took his true love all by the hand

                     G
His sword all in the other

   Am        F             G          Am
He said, “If you have more right than I

     F        Em    G    C
Then come and fight the other”

Dm
Oh, locks and bolts

C
Locks and bolts will hinder

Dm
Oh, locks and bolts

C
Locks and bolts will hinder

    F         G      C
And now these two in wedlock joined

                   G
They do adore each other

     Am        F         G       Am
They oft times think all on that day

         F       Em    G   C
When the door he broke asunder

Dm
Oh, locks and bolts

C
Locks and bolts will hinder

Dm
Oh, locks and bolts

C
Locks and bolts will hinder

Dm
Oh, locks and bolts

C
Locks and bolts will hinder

Dm
Oh, locks and bolts

C
Locks and bolts will hinder
