The Byrds (English folk song) *
[Dm]Fair young maid [G] all in her [Dm]garden
[Dm]Strange young man [G] came riding [Dm]by
Saying: fair young [F]maid, [Em]will you marry [C]me?
This then, [Em]sir, was her re[Dm]ply
[Dm]Oh no, kind sir[G], I cannot marry [Dm]thee
[Dm]For I ve a love[G] who sails the deep salt [Dm]sea
Though he s been [F]gone [Em]these seven [C]years
Still no [Em]man shall marry [Dm]me
[Dm]What if he s died[G] all in some battle [Dm]slain
[Dm]Or if he s drowned[G] in, in the deep salt [Dm]sea?
What if he s [F]found [Em]some other [C]love
He and his [Em]new love both married [Dm]be?
[Dm]If he s found[G] some other [Dm]love
[Dm]He and his new lov[G]e both married [Dm]be
I wish them [F]health [Em]and happi[C]ness
Where they have [Em]love far across the [Dm]sea
[Dm]He picked her up[G] all in his [Dm]arms
[Dm]And kisses gave he[G]r one, two and [Dm]three
Then weep no [F]more, [Em]my own true [C]love
I am your [Em]long lost John [Dm]Riley
Saying: weep no [F]more, [Em]my own true [C]love
For I m your [Em]long lost John [Dm]Riley
