[Verse 1]
                 Em  G**   A**                D  D  
Come all you, fair   and tender ladies,
               Em  G**   A**            Bm  Bm  
take warning how   you court   your men.
                      G  G**    D/F#**           Em  Em**
They’re like the stars   on a summer’s morning,
     D/F#**      G                    G       A       A        A  A  
they first appear   and then they’re gone.
[Verse 2]
                  Em  G**    A**                    D  D  
They’ll tell to you   some flattering story
               Em  G**         A**           Bm  Bm  
and then declare   that they love   you well.
                 G  G**   D/F#**             Em  Em**
Then they’ll   go   and court some other
    D/F#**          G               G       A       A        A  A  
and leave you   here   in grief to dwell.
[Verse 3]
           Em  G** A**                D  D  
I wish I was   a little sparrow
               Em  G**          A**          Bm  Bm  
and one of those   that could fly   so high.
                G  G**     D/F#**              Em  Em**
And I’d fly home   to my true love’s dwelling,
     D/F#**         G                G   A       A        A  A  
when he would speak,   I’d be close   by.
[Verse 4]
                 Em  G**   A**               D  D  
I wish to the Lord   I’d never seen him
           Em  G** A**           Bm  Bm  
or in his cradle he     had died.
                  G  G**     D/F#**            Em  Em**
And I’d lie   down   in my grief and   sorrow
    D/F#**     G               G   A       A        A  A  
and try to pass   my troubles   by.
[Verse 5]
             Em  G** A**                D  D  
If I had known   before I courted
                 Em  G**  A**           Bm  Bm  
that love had been   so hard   to win,
                   G  G**    D/F#**          Em  Em**
I’d locked my heart   with keys of golden
    D/F#**        G                 G       A       A        A  A  
and pinned it down   with a silver pin.
[Verse 6]
                Em  G**   A**                 D  D  
Oh, love is great   and love is charming
               Em  G**    A**            Bm  Bm  
and love is pure   when first   it’s new.
                  G  G**   D/F#**             Em  Em**
But love grows old   and love grows colder,
   D/F#**    G                G       A       A        A  A  
it fades away   like morning dew.
[Verse 7]
                 Em  G**   A**                D  D  
Come all you, fair   and tender ladies,
             Em  G**   A**            Bm  Bm  
be careful how   you court   your men.
                      G  G**    D/F#**           Em  Em**
They’re like the stars   on a summer’s evening,
     D/F#**      G                    G       A       A        A       A         A  A*
they first appear   and then they’re gone.
