The lambs of the green hills song lyrics

The Lambs Of The Green Hills song lyrics and easy guitar chords in G.

The (G)lambs on the green hills, they sport and they (C)play
And (G)many strawberries grow round the salt (D)sea
How (G)sad is my heart when my own love's a(C)way
How (G)many's the (D7)ship sails the (C)ocean - G

The (G)bride and bride's party, to church they did (C)go 
The (G)bride she rode foremost, she bears the best (D)show
And (G)I followed after with my heart filled with (C)woe
For to (G)see my love (D7)wed to a(C)nother - G

The (G)next time I saw her, was in the church (C)stand
Gold (G)ring on her finger and her love by her (D)hand
Says (G)I my wee lassie, I will be your (C)man
Al(G)though you are (D7)wed to a(C)nother - G

The (G)last time I saw her, was on the way (C)home
 I (G)rode on before her not knowing where to (D)roam
Says (G)I my wee lassie, I will be the (C)one
Al(G)though you are (D7)wed to a(C)nother - G

Stop, (G)stop says the groomsman, til I speak a (C)word
Would (G)you chance your life on the point of my (D)sword
For (G)courting so slowly, you have lost this fair (C)maid
So be (G)gone for you (D7)ne'er will en(C)joy her - G

So (G)dig now my grave, both long wide and (C)deep
And (G)sprinkle it over with flowers so (D)sweet
And (G)lay me down in it for to take my last (C)sleep
For (G)that's the sure (D7)way to for(C)get her. - G
