The Outlandish Knight chords

[INTRO]
[Am] [F] [Dm] [Am]

[VERSE]
[Am]A man there came from the [F]far north lands
A [Dm]maiden he did [Am]spy
He [Am]swore to take her [F]in his hands
And [Dm]she would be his [Am]bride
"Go [Am]fetch for me your [F]father’s gold
Some [Dm]of your mother’s [Am]fee
[Am]Two of the nags from the [F]stable hold
Where [Dm]there stand thirty-[Am]three”

[Am]She mounted up her [F]milk-white steed
And [Dm]he, a dapple-[Am]grey
They [Am]rode a mile to the [F]stormy sea
In the [Dm]early hours of [Am]day
[Am]"Doff off, doff off, thy [F]silken things
De[Dm]liver them to [Am]me
[Am]They are too rich and [F]set with rings
To [Dm]rot in salty [Am]sea”
"Light [G]off, light off and turn this way
[G]Reveal yourself to me
I [Am]have here drowned [F]six pretty maids
And [Dm]you will the seventh [Am]be”

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Am] [F] [Dm] [Am]
[Am] [F] [Dm] [Am]

[VERSE]
[Am]She said, "Doff off my [F]silken things?
First [Dm]turn your back on [Am]me
[Am]It is not right a [F]ruffian king
A [Dm]naked woman should [Am]see
[Am]Go fetch the sickle, the [F]nettles crop
They [Dm]grow too near the [Am]brim
[Am]And they may tangle my [F]golden locks
Or [Dm]freckle my milk-white [Am]skin”

[Am]And so he turned hims[F]elf around
Sur[Dm]veyed the land so [Am]green
[Am]She caught him square, his [F]neck she crowned
And [Dm]threw him into the [Am]stream
"Lie [G]there, lie there, and hold the tides
[G]Lie down for the love of me
You’ve [Am]drowned yourself for [F]six sweet brides
I’ll [Dm]not the seventh [Am]be”

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Am] [F] [Dm] [Am]
[Am] [F] [Dm] [Am]

[VERSE]
[Am]She mounted up her [F]horse so fine
And [Dm]took the mare of [Am]grey
[Am]She rode herself the [F]country mile
And [Dm]stowed them safe a[Am]way
[Am]The parrot stood at his [F]high window
"What [Dm]ails? What ails? Young [Am]maid
[Am]Your face is bathed with the [F]afterglow
The [Dm]longest time you [Am]stayed”
[G]"Oh, hold your tongue, my bird so bold
[G]The king will hear of thee
[Am]Your cage I will make of the [F]beaten gold
And [Dm]hang in the willow [Am]tree”
