Pretty Saro chords

[VERSE 1]
When I [G]first come to this [Am]country in [C]eighteen and forty-[D]nine
I saw [G]many fair [Am]lovers but I [C]never saw [D]mine
I [G]viewed it all [Am]around me, saw I [C]was quite a[D]lone
And [G]me a poor [Am]stranger and a [C]long way from [D]home.

[VERSE 2]
Well, my [G]true love she won't [Am]have me and it's[C] this I under[D]stand
For she [G]wants some free [Am]holder and [C]I have no [D]land
I [G]couldn't main[Am]tain her on [C]silver and [D]gold
But [G]all of the other [Am]fine things that my [C]love's house could [D]hold.

[VERSE 3]
Fair thee [G]well to ol' [Am]Mother, fair thee [C]well to my Father, [D]too
I'm [G]going for to [Am]ramble this [C]wide world all [D]through
And [G]when I get [Am]weary, I'll [C]sit down and [D]cry
And [G]think of my [Am]Saro, pretty [C]Saro, my [D]bride.

[VERSE 4]
Well, I [G]wished I was a [Am]turtledove, [C]had wings and could [D]fly
Far a[G]way to my lover's [Am]lodgings, to[C]night I'd draw [D]nigh
And [G]there in her lily-[Am]white arms I'd [C]lay there all [D]night
And [G]watch through them little [Am]winders for the [C]dawning of [D]light.
