GLately last night, CI was asked to a GwedCding

For that Gday as she Cthought of her inGtended young Dm7loveCr
Thoughts of her Gold one had Drun through her CmindD  
[Verse 2]
GSupper being oCver and all things were GendCed
GEvery young man was to Csing a fine Dsong
Until it Gcame to the Cturn of her Gown foreign Dm7loveCr
And the song that he Gsang, to the Dbride did beClongD  
[Verse 3]
"GHow can you sit at aCnother man's GtaCble?
GHow can you drink of aCnother man's Dwine?
GHow can you Clie in the Garms of aDm7nothCer?
GMany's the night, love, that Dyou lay in Cmine"D  
[Verse 4]
"GMany's the one has been Cseven years GparCted
GSeven years parCted and he did return aDgain
But GI have onCly been Gtwo years aDm7way, Clove
GTwo years away, love, and Ddid return aCgain"D  
[Verse 5]
The Gbride, she was seated Cat the head of the GtaCble
GVery well she knew to whom the Csong did beDlong
Then her Gheart, it grew Cfaint, she could Gstand it no Dm7longCer
GDown at the feet of the Dbridegroom she Cfell
[Verse 6]
GSobbing and sighing she Crose from the GtaCble
GSobbing and sighing she Cwent to her Dbed
GEarly next mornCing the Gbridegroom aDm7wakeCned
He Gturned to embrace her and Dfound she was Cdead
[Verse 7]
Saying, "GAnnie, dear Annie, I Cknew you never Gloved Cme
GMy love and your love could Cnever aDgree
For I Gknew all aClong that your Gpoor heart was Dm7breakCing
GAll for the sake of a Dforeign young Cman"D  
[Verse 8]
So Gnow I must wear Ca frock of deep GmournCing
GA frock of deep mourning, Cone, two and Dthree
I must Gwear to her Cwake my Gown wedding Dm7garmCent
GNe'er again shall I go between the Dbark and the Ctree

Altan - A Nobleman's Wedding

CAPO: 2nd Fret

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

G C G C

Lately last night, I was asked to a wedding

G C D

The wedding of a fair maid who proved to be unkind

G C G Dm7 C

For that day as she thought of her intended young lover

G D C D

Thoughts of her old one had run through her mind

[Verse 2]

G C G C

Supper being over and all things were ended

G C D

Every young man was to sing a fine song

G C G Dm7 C

Until it came to the turn of her own foreign lover

G D C D

And the song that he sang, to the bride did belong

[Verse 3]

G C G C

"How can you sit at another man's table?

G C D

How can you drink of another man's wine?

G C G Dm7 C

How can you lie in the arms of another?

G D C D

Many's the night, love, that you lay in mine"

[Verse 4]

G C G C

"Many's the one has been seven years parted

G C D

Seven years parted and he did return again

G C G Dm7 C

But I have only been two years away, love

G D C D

Two years away, love, and did return again"

[Verse 5]

G C G C

The bride, she was seated at the head of the table

G C D

Very well she knew to whom the song did belong

G C G Dm7 C

Then her heart, it grew faint, she could stand it no longer

G D C

Down at the feet of the bridegroom she fell

[Verse 6]

G C G C

Sobbing and sighing she rose from the table

G C D

Sobbing and sighing she went to her bed

G C G Dm7 C

Early next morning the bridegroom awakened

G D C

He turned to embrace her and found she was dead

[Verse 7]

G C G C

Saying, "Annie, dear Annie, I knew you never loved me

G C D

My love and your love could never agree

G C G Dm7 C

For I knew all along that your poor heart was breaking

G D C D

All for the sake of a foreign young man"

[Verse 8]

G C G C

So now I must wear a frock of deep mourning

G C D

A frock of deep mourning, one, two and three

G C G Dm7 C

I must wear to her wake my own wedding garment

G D C

Ne'er again shall I go between the bark and the tree
