So Early Early In The Spring Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

[INTRO]
[A]

[VERSE 1]

So early, early in the spring
I shipped on [G]board to serve my [A]king

I left my dearest dear behind
[A]She oft' times swore her heart was mine

[VERSE 1]

My love she takes me by the hand
"If ever I [G]marry, you'll be the [A]man"

A thousand vows so long and sweet
[A]Saying, "We'll be married when next we meet"

[VERSE 2]

And all the time I sailed the seas
I could not [G]find one moment's [A]ease

In thinking of my dearest dear
[A]And never a word from her could I hear

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[A] [G] [A]

[VERSE 3]

At last we sailed into Glasgow town
I strode the [G]streets both up and [A]down

Inquiring for my dearest dear
[A]And never a word from her could I hear

[VERSE 4]

I went straightway to her father's hall
And loudly [G]for my love did [A]call

"My daughter's married, she's a rich man's wife
[A]She’s wed to another, much better for life"

[VERSE 5]

If the girl is married that I adore
I'm sure I'll [G]stay on land no [A]more

I'll sail the sea till the day I die
[A]I'll break the waves rolling mountains high
