Fair And Tender Ladies

[Intro ]
G Dm C/G 


[Verso 1]
 
             Dm              C/G 
Come, all ye fair and tender ladies 
             Dm                 F 
Take warning how you court your men 
               C 
They're like a star on a summer morning 
            Dm                    G 
They first appear and then they're gone 
 


[Verso 2]
 
                Dm              C/G 
They'll tell to you some loving story 
                     Dm                       F 
And they'll make you think that they love you well 
                 C/G 
And away they'll go and court some other 
              Dm                G 
And leave you there in grief to dwell 
 


[Verso 3]
 
           Dm                C/G 
Oh love is handsome, love is charming 
            Dm                F 
And love is pretty while it's new 
         C/G 
But love grows cold as love grows older 
          Dm                G 
And fades away like morning dew, ohh 
 


[Verso 4]
 
         Dm           C/G 
I wish I was a little sparrow 
          Dm              F 
And I had wings to fly so high 
               C/G 
I'd fly to the arms of my false true lover 
              Dm              G 
And when he'd ask, oh I would deny, oh 
 


[Verso 5]
 
          Dm                  C/G 
Then I'd fly to some Scottish mountain 
                  Dm                F 
Where the heather grows like purple ink 
            C/G 
I'd write a letter to my false true lover 
                 Dm               G 
Whose cheeks are like the morning pink 
 


[Verso 6]
 
             Dm              C/G 
Come, all ye fair and tender ladies 
             Dm                 F 
Take warning how you court your men 
               C/G 
They're like a star on a summer morning 
           Dm                      G 
They first appear and then they're gone
