[Verse]
Am F C G/B
I went down to the hiring fair for to sell my labour
Am F Em F
I noticed a maid in the very next row, I hoped she'd be my neighbour
C G/B Am F
Imagine then my delight when the farmer picked us both
G
Though I spoke not a word on the cart to the farm
Am F
My heart beat in my throat
[Verse]
Am F C G/B
My lodging was dry and my master fair, I gave him full measure
Am F Em F
Like corn in the field my envy grew, for in his house was my treasure
C G/B Am F
I watched her carry water, or drive cows from the byre
G
And the heat from the sun made the corn grow strong
Am F Am F
And with it my desire
[Verse]
Am F C G/B
I see her in my dreaming and in my dreams caress
Am F Em F
Her lips, her eyes, her dark brown hair, the curves beneath her dress
C G/B Am F
And harvest time it came at last, so heavy was our task
G
That the women and the men worked side by side
Am F Am F
So I had her near at last
[Verse]
Am F C G
I swung harder with my scythe, few words between us passed
Am F Em F
I cursed my tongue-tied youthfulness, hoped she'd hear my heart
C G/B Am F
When all was safely gathered in, we sat down to rest
G
My trembling fingers touched her arm
Am
She placed them on her breast
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Am F C G/B
She turned to me as the sun went down and all my senses reeled
Am F Em F
We lay there on the scented ground 'til the moon rose over the field
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Am F C G/B
She was safely gathered in my arms when from the barn
Am F Em F
Drifted the sound of a violin and we hurried to the farm
C G/B Am F
All were dancing in the lantern light and music filled the air
G
And I thanked the stars and the harvest moon
Am
For the girl from the hiring fair
