The Unquiet Grave

G        C       G

N.C. Dm        F         G       C
Cold blows the wind o'er my true love
    G             Dm       C     G
And cold blow the drops of rain
  Am    F Bb      C        G
I never had.. but one true love
       Dm        G/B     Fm  C  Fm  C
In the Greenwood he lies slain

     Dm    F        G       C
I'll do as much for my true love
   G   Dm    C    G
As any lover may
     Am      F Bb     C      G
I'll sit and weep all on his grave
  Dm           G/B   Fm  C  Fm  C
A twelve-month and a day..

     Dm            F     G        C
When twelve months and a day were done
  G       Dm     C      G
A voice began to speak
     Am    F Bb     C           G
“Who is it sits and weeps on my grave
    Dm       G/B    Fm  C
And will not let me sleep?”

G        C       G

N.C. Dm        F       G          C
One  kiss, one kiss of your sweet lips
    G       Dm    C      G
One kiss is all I crave
  Am     F Bb     C              G
Unless I have one kiss from your lips
   Dm      G/B     Fm  C  Fm  C
No comfort shall I have..

    Dm       F       G          C
“My lips are cold as clay, sweetheart
   G         Dm     C       G
My breath is earthy strong
    Am          F Bb      C       G
And had you one kiss from my cold lips
     Dm         G/B    Fm  C
Your time would not be long..”

G        C       G

N.C. Dm       F            G        C
Go   home, go home to your father’s house
    G         Dm         C     G
Sit with your friends at ease
    Am        F Bb      C     G
For fierce is love that longs for
    Dm       G/B     Fm  C
And leave my soul in peace
