As AmI went a Gwalking way Amdown by the gEmreen wood
CDown where the Givy and lAmaurel entEmwine,
I Cheard a bird Gsinging his Amsad, plaintive Emlove song;
He Ammourned for his Emtrue love as I mourned Ammine,
Chorus
CEver the Gwinds keep on Amchanging their Emjourney
CEver the waves keep on Amchanging the Emsea
CEver green Gsummer keeps Amchanging to EMautumn;
My Amtrue love has Emchanged, But there's no change in Amme
I Ambrought my love Gflowers Amall tied up with EMribbons
CSoon the sweet Gflowers were Amfaded and Emgone,
Like the Cflowers my Gtrue love's affAmections have Emwithered
Which Amleaves me Emalone here to pine and to Ammourn.
Chorus
CEver the Gwinds keep on Amchanging their Emjourney
CEver the waves keep on Amchanging the Emsea
CEver green Gsummer keeps Amchanging to Emautumn;
My Amtrue love has Emchanged, But there's no change in Amme
My Amconstant comGpanions Amsadness and Emsorrow;
CTrouble has Dnever forsAmaken me Emyet.
But wherCever I Ggo till my Amdays are all Emnumbered,
The Amlove of my Emsoul I will never forgAmet.
Chorus
CEver the Gwinds keep on Amchanging their Emjourney
CEver the waves keep on Amchanging the Emsea
CEver green Gsummer keeps Amchanging to Emautumn;
My Amtrue love has Emchanged, But there's no change in Amme.

Chords in this song · guitar

Am G Am Em

As I went a walking way down by the green wood

C G Am Em

Down where the ivy and laurel entwine,

C G Am Em

I heard a bird singing his sad, plaintive love song;

Am Em Am

He mourned for his true love as I mourned mine,

Chorus

C G Am Em

Ever the winds keep on changing their journey

C Am Em

Ever the waves keep on changing the sea

C G Am EM

Ever green summer keeps changing to autumn;

Am Em Am

My true love has changed, But there's no change in me

Am G Am EM

I brought my love flowers all tied up with ribbons

C G Am Em

Soon the sweet flowers were faded and gone,

C G Am Em

Like the flowers my true love's affections have withered

Am Em Am

Which leaves me alone here to pine and to mourn.

Chorus

C G Am Em

Ever the winds keep on changing their journey

C Am Em

Ever the waves keep on changing the sea

C G Am Em

Ever green summer keeps changing to autumn;

Am Em Am

My true love has changed, But there's no change in me

Am G Am Em

My constant companions sadness and sorrow;

C D Am Em

Trouble has never forsaken me yet.

C G Am Em

But wherever I go till my days are all numbered,

Am Em Am

The love of my soul I will never forget.

Chorus

C G Am Em

Ever the winds keep on changing their journey

C Am Em

Ever the waves keep on changing the sea

C G Am Em

Ever green summer keeps changing to autumn;

Am Em Am

My true love has changed, But there's no change in me.
