Intro: Am 


[Refrão]
 
     Am   G         E 
Must I go bound and you so free 
C                     G            E 
  Must I love one who doesn't love me 
C                     G         Em 
  Must I be born with so little art 
      F                    Em       Am 
As to love a one who would break my heart 


[Verso 1]
 
  Am     G        Em   E 
I put my finger into a bush 
C                      G      Em 
  I thought I'd find a lovely flower 
C                         G    Em 
  The thorn it pierced me to a touch 
    F             Em     Am 
And so I left the rose behind 


[Verso 2]

  Am        G        Em          E 
I leaned my back up against some oak 
C                    G      Em 
  I thought it was a trusty tree 
C                         G       Em 
  But first it bended and then it broke 
    F               Em      Am 
And so did my false love to me 


[Refrão]
 
     Am   G         Em 
Must I go bound and you so free 
C                     G            Em 
  Must I love one who doesn't love me 
C                     G         Em 
  Must I be born with so little art 
      F                    Em       Am 
As to love a one who would break my heart 


[Verso 3]
 
      Am   G         Em        E 
There is a ship that sails the sea 
C                     G        Em 
  It's loaded down as deep can be 
C                        G        Em 
  But not so deep as the love I'm in 
  F              E       Am 
I know not ere I sink or swim 


[Verso 4]
 
    Am      G          Em      E 
Oh, love be gentle and love be kind 
C                     G          Em 
  Gay as a jewel when first it's new 
C                        G          Em 
  But love grows old and then grows cold 
    F                   Em      Am 
And fades away like the morning dew 


[Refrão]
 
     Am   G         Em     E 
Must I go bound and you so free 
C                     G            Em 
  Must I love one who doesn't love me 
C                     G         Em 
  Must I be born with so little art 
      F                    Em       Am 
As to love a one who would break my heart
