The Butchers Boy

(início)

          A Am
In London town where I did dwell
                    F G          Am
Lived a butcher's boy I loved so well
He stole from me my heart away
            F   G            Am
But with me now he will not stay
A Am A
                Am         A
There is a house in London town
              F    G           A
Where my true love he sits him down
                      Am                          A
And he takes a strange, strange girl on his knee
                F  G                    A
And he tells to her what he won't tell me

                Am
It's grave to me and I'll tell you why
            F     G            Am
Because she has more gold than I
                   D      Am
But gold will melt and silver fly
              F      G        Am
But true hearted love will never die

Must I go bound as he goes free?
              F  G               A
Must I love a man who won't love me?
   Am
Go dig my grave both long and deep
                F   G              A
Lay a marbled stone at my head and feet
         Am                    A
And over my grave place a snow white dove
              F  G           A
To show the world I died for love
