Am C
Lady margaret, lady margaret
G Am
Was sowing at the seam
C G D
She's all dressed in black
C Am Em
And a thought came in her head to roam in the woods
D Am C
To pull flowers to flower her hat, my boys
Em D Em
To pull flowers to flower her hat
Am C G Am
So she hoisted up her petticoats a bit above the knee
C G D
And so nimbly she ran over the ground
C Am Em
And when she came to the merrygreen woods
D Am C Em
She pulled those branches down, my boys
D Em
She pulled those branches down
Am C G Am
Suddenly she spied a fine young man
C G D
He's standing by a tree
C Am Em
He says how dare you pull those branches down?
D Am C Em
Without the leave of me, my dear
D Em
Without the leave of me
Am C G Am
Well she says this little wood it is my very own
C G D
My father gave it to me
C Am Em D Am C Em
I can pull these branches down without the leave of thee, young man
D Em
Oh without the leave of thee
Am C G Am
And he took her by the milk-white hand
C G D
And by the grass-green sleeve
C Am Em
He pulled her down at the foot of the bush
D Am C Em
He never once asked her leave, my boys
D Em
Oh he never once asked her leave
Am C G Am
And when it was done she twisted about
C G C D
To ask her true love's name
C Am
But she nothing saw
Em
She nothing heard
D Am C Em
And all the woods grew dim
D Em
And all the woods grew dim
C D C D Em
Am C G Am
There's four and twenty ladies all in the land
C G D
And they're all playing a chess
C Em
Except it was the lady margaret
D Am C Em
And she's green as any glass, my boys
D Em
Oh she's green as any glass
D Am C G Am
And these four-and-twenty ladies all in the land
C G D
Grow as red any rose
C D Am Em D Am C
Except the lady margaret she's pale and wan, my boys
Em D Em
Oh pale and wan she goes
Am C G Am
Up then spoke the little serving girl
C G D
She lifted her hand and smiled
C D Am Em
She said i think my lady's loved too long
D Am C Em
And now she goes with child, my dears
D Em
Oh and now she goes with child
Am C G Am
Up then spoke the second serving girl
C G D
Oh ever and alas says she
C D Am Em
But i think i know a herb in the merry green wood
D Am C Em
That'll twine thy baby from thee
D Em
It'll rip off thy babe from thee
Am C G Am
So lady margaret she got herself a comb
C G D
She made haste to comb her hair
C Am Em
And then she's away to the merry green woods
D Am C Em
As fast as she can tear, my boys
D Em
As fast as she can tear
Am C G Am
And she hadn't pulled in the merry green woods
C G D
D herb that barely won
C Am Em
When by her stands the young tamlin
D Am C Em
He says margaret leave it alone
D Em
Oh margaret leave it alone
Am C G Am
Why do you pull that bitter little herb
C G D
That herb that grows so grey
C Am Em D Am C Em
For to destroy that fine young baby that we got in our play, my dear
D Em
Oh that we got in our play
Am C G Am
Well come tell me now young tamling says she
C G D
If an earthly man you be
C Am Em
I tell you no lies, says young tamlin
D Am C Em
I was christened as good as thee
D Em
I was christened as good as thee
Am C G Am
But as i rode a-hunting on a bitter bitter night
C G D
It was from my horse i fell
C Am Em
And the queen of elvin she caught me
D Am C Em
Into yonder green hill to dwell
D Em
Oh into yonder green hill to dwell
Am C G Am
But tonight is halloween lady
C G D
The elvin caught will ride
C Am Em
And if you would your true love win
D Am C Em
By the millbridge you must hide, my dears
D Em
By the millbridge you must hide
Am C
And first will run the black horse
G C
Then will the brown
C G D
And then will run the white
C Am Em
You hold him fast, you fear him not
D Am C Em
For he's the father of your child, my love
D Em
He's the father of your child
Am C G Am
They'll turn me on in your arms lady
C G D
Into many a beasts so wild
C Am Em
But you hold them fast, you fear no ill
D Am C Em
It's the father of your child, my love
D Em
It's the father of your child
C Am Em x2
Am C G Am
So lady margaret, she gets herself a comb
C G D
She made haste to comb her hair
C Am Em
Then she's away to the old millbrdige
D Am C Em
As fast as she could tear, my boys
D Em
As fast as she could tear
Am C G Am C G D
And about the dead hour of the night she heard the bridles ring
C Am Em D Am C Em
Oh my boys, she had her heart more than any earthly thing it did
D Em
More than any earthly thing
Am C G
And first run the black horse
Am
Then the brown
C G D
And then raced by the white
C Am Em
Well she held it fast, she feared it not
D Am C Em
For it's the father of her child
D Em
It's the father of her child
Am C G Am C
The thunderoll across the sky
G D C
The stars blazed bright as day
Am Em D
The queen of elvin gave a thrilling cry
Am C Em
Tamlin's away brave boys
D Em
Brave tamlin's away
Am C G Am
The very first thing they turned him into
C G D C
Is a lion that runs so wild
Am Em
But she held him fast, she feared him not
D Am C Em
He's the father of her child, my boys
D Em
He's the father of her child
Am C G Am
And the very next thing they turned him into
C G D
It was a loathsome snake
C Am Em
He says hold me fast, fear me not
D Am C Em
For i'm one of god's own make, my love
D Em
Oh i'm one of god's own make
Am C G Am C
And again they changed him all in her arms
G D
To a red-hot bar of iron
C Am Em
But she held it fast, she feared it not
D Am C Em
It did to her no harm
D Em
It did to her no harm
Am C G Am
And the very last thing they changed him into
C G D
Was like any naked man
C Am Em
She flung her mantle over him
D Am C Em
She cried my love i've won i've won
D Em
She cried my love i've won
Am C G Am C
But the queen of elvin she called for a bush
G D
She's red as any blood
C Am Em
I should have torn out your eyes, tamlin
D Am C Em
And put in two eyes of wood
D Em
And put in two eyes of wood
