The Verdant Braes Of Skreen Chords & Lyrics - Cherish The Ladies

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[VERSE 1]
N.C.
As I roved out one evening fair

By the verdant braes of Skreen
N.C.
I set my back to a hawthorn tree

To view the sun in the West Country
N.C.
And the dew on the forest green


[VERSE 2]
A [G]lad I [D]spied on [C]yon burn [D]side
And a [G]maiden by his [C]knee
And [G]he was as [D]dark as the [C]very brown [D]wood
And [G]she all [D]whey and [C]wan to [D]see
All [G]whey and [Em]wan[D]__ to [G]see

[VERSE 3]
"Oh sit you [D]down on the [C]grass," he [D]said
"On the [G]dewy grass so [C]green
For the [G]wee birds [D]all have [C]come and [D]gone
Since [G]I my [D]true [C]love have [D]seen
Since [G]I my true [Em]lov[D]e__ have [G]seen"

[VERSE 4]
"Then I'll not [D]sit on the [C]grass," she [D]said
"Can nae [G]be a love of [C]thine
For I [G]hear you [D]love a [C]Connaught [D]girl
And your [G]heart's no [D]longer [C]mine," she [D]said
"And your [G]heart's no [Em]lon[D]ger [G]mine"

[VERSE 5]
"I will [D]climb yon [C]high, high [D]tree
And I'll [G]rob a wild bird's [C]nest
And [G]back I'll [D]bring what[C]ever I [D]find
To the [G]arms that [D]I love the [C]best," she [D]said
"To the [G]arms that [Em]I__[D]_ love[G] best"
