Intro: Am
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
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
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
