[Intro]
Am F Dm Am
[Verse]
AmA man there came from the Ffar north lands
A Dmmaiden he did Amspy
He Amswore to take her Fin his hands
And Dmshe would be his Ambride
“Go Amfetch for me your Ffather’s gold
Some Dmof your mother’s Amfee
AmTwo of the nags from the Fstable hold
Where Dmthere stand thirty-Amthree”
AmShe mounted up her Fmilk-white steed
And Dmhe, a dapple-Amgrey
They Amrode a mile to the Fstormy sea
In the Dmearly hours of Amday
Am“Doff off, doff off, thy Fsilken things
DeDmliver them to Amme
AmThey are too rich and Fset with rings
To Dmrot in salty Amsea”
“Light Goff, light off and turn this way
GReveal yourself to me
I Amhave here drowned Fsix pretty maids
And Dmyou will the seventh Ambe”
[Instrumental]
Am F Dm Am
Am F Dm Am
[Verse]
AmShe said, “Doff off my Fsilken things?
First Dmturn your back on Amme
AmIt is not right a Fruffian king
A Dmnaked woman should Amsee
AmGo fetch the sickle, the Fnettles crop
They Dmgrow too near the Ambrim
AmAnd they may tangle my Fgolden locks
Or Dmfreckle my milk-white Amskin”
AmAnd so he turned himsFelf around
SurDmveyed the land so Amgreen
AmShe caught him square, his Fneck she crowned
And Dmthrew him into the Amstream
“Lie Gthere, lie there, and hold the tides
GLie down for the love of me
You’ve Amdrowned yourself for Fsix sweet brides
I’ll Dmnot the seventh Ambe”
[Instrumental]
Am F Dm Am
Am F Dm Am
[Verse]
AmShe mounted up her Fhorse so fine
And Dmtook the mare of Amgrey
AmShe rode herself the Fcountry mile
And Dmstowed them safe aAmway
AmThe parrot stood at his Fhigh window
“What Dmails? What ails? Young Ammaid
AmYour face is bathed with the Fafterglow
The Dmlongest time you Amstayed”
G“Oh, hold your tongue, my bird so bold
GThe king will hear of thee
AmYour cage I will make of the Fbeaten gold 
And Dmhang in the willow Amtree”

[Intro]

Am F Dm Am

[Verse]

Am F

A man there came from the far north lands

Dm Am

A maiden he did spy

Am F

He swore to take her in his hands

Dm Am

And she would be his bride

Am F

“Go fetch for me your father’s gold

Dm Am

Some of your mother’s fee

Am F

Two of the nags from the stable hold

Dm Am

Where there stand thirty-three”

Am F

She mounted up her milk-white steed

Dm Am

And he, a dapple-grey

Am F

They rode a mile to the stormy sea

Dm Am

In the early hours of day

Am F

“Doff off, doff off, thy silken things

Dm Am

Deliver them to me

Am F

They are too rich and set with rings

Dm Am

To rot in salty sea”

“Light off, light off and turn this way

Reveal yourself to me

Am F

I have here drowned six pretty maids

Dm Am

And you will the seventh be”

[Instrumental]

Am F Dm Am

[Verse]

Am F

She said, “Doff off my silken things?

Dm Am

First turn your back on me

Am F

It is not right a ruffian king

Dm Am

A naked woman should see

Am F

Go fetch the sickle, the nettles crop

Dm Am

They grow too near the brim

Am F

And they may tangle my golden locks

Dm Am

Or freckle my milk-white skin”

Am F

And so he turned himself around

Dm Am

Surveyed the land so green

Am F

She caught him square, his neck she crowned

Dm Am

And threw him into the stream

“Lie there, lie there, and hold the tides

Lie down for the love of me

Am F

You’ve drowned yourself for six sweet brides

Dm Am

I’ll not the seventh be”

[Instrumental]

Am F Dm Am

[Verse]

Am F

She mounted up her horse so fine

Dm Am

And took the mare of grey

Am F

She rode herself the country mile

Dm Am

And stowed them safe away

Am F

The parrot stood at his high window

Dm Am

“What ails? What ails? Young maid

Am F

Your face is bathed with the afterglow

Dm Am

The longest time you stayed”

“Oh, hold your tongue, my bird so bold

The king will hear of thee

Am F

Your cage I will make of the beaten gold

Dm Am

And hang in the willow tree”
