[G]Come all ye f[C]air and tende[G]r ladies
t[G]ake warning h[C]ow, you court young [D]men.

[G]and when he'd s[Am7]peak, I would de[D]ny.

[VERSE 6]
[G]But I am no[C]t a little sparr[G]ow
[G]Neither hav[C]e I wings to [D]fly
[D]So here I[Am7]'ll sit in grief and s[G]orrow
[G]And watch my tr[Am7]oubles pass me b[D]y
