verse 1
Am G
I fell in love with the Shaker's daughter
Dm F
She fell in love with the things that I bought her
Am G
A hatpin and pearls, a portrait from Nice
Dm F
Nankeen and silk from the far, far East
C G Am
And it's love, for now, love
verse 2
G
I sat by the road, she passed my way
Dm F
I gave her a smile and I asked her to stay
Am G
My fiddle was fine, my apple was sweet
Dm F
I offered a tune and a bite to eat
C G Am
And it's love, for now, love
C F C
And she, she said to me
F C
I don't belong with thee
G Am G
Continue with your hunt
C F C
And I, I made my appeal
F C
I said this love is real
G Am G Am G
And you're the one I want
verse 3
Am G
We sat on the bank where the waters glide
Dm F
Her father appeared and we could not hide
Am G
She took to her feet, ran to his arms
Dm F
Pleaded with him that she never meant harm
C G Am
And it's love, for now, love
verse 4
Am G
He whispered low into her ear
Dm F
What he told her, I could not hear
Am G
He did not bend and she turned to go
Dm F
That Shaker and I, we stood toe to toe
C G Am
And it's love, for now, love
C F C
And she, she said to me
F C
I don't belong with thee
G Am G
Continue with your hunt
C F C
And I, I made my appeal
F C
I said this love is real
G Am G Am G
And you're the one I want
C F C
And she, she said to me
F C
I don't belong with thee
G Am G
Continue with your hunt
C F C
And I, I made my appeal
F C
I said this love is real

And you're the one I want
