She Moved Through The Fair Words And Chords In G Major

My (G) young love said to (D) Me
My (C) mother won't (D) mind
And my (C) father won't (D) slight you
For (G) your lack of (D) kind
And she (C) steped away fom (D) me 
And (G) this she did (D) say
It (G) will not be (D) long love 
Till (C) our wedding (D) day

She stepp'd away from me and she moved through the fair,
And fondly I watched her go here and go there,
Then she went her way homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.

The people were saying no two were e'er wed,
But one has a sorrow that never was said,
And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear,
And that was the last that I saw of my dear.

I dreamt it last night that my young love came in,
So softly she entered, her feet made no din,
She came close beside me and this she did say,
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."

​Here's the chords as sang by Caitlin.
My (D) young love said to Me
My (G) mother won't  min[D]d
And my  father won't (A) slight you
For (G) your lack [D]of  kind
And she stepped away from me 
And (G) this [D]she did  say
It  will not be  long love 
Till (Am) our [G]wedding  da[D]y
