Intro: Am  D  Am 

verse 1: 
           D          Am 
Beyond the wild misty mountain 
           D         E 
Within the valley so free  
      Am       F           Dm       E       Am 
There dwells a maid with a heart so mellow  
            G        F           E    Dm 
Soft as the wind and wild as the sea  
              Am          G      A        Am 
When will you love me, as I love thee 


verse 2: 
          D       Am 
I have no gold to give her 
             D            E 
Nor gowns of soft crimson hue  
    Am       F       Dm        E          Am 
Nor poems of love no rhymes to bring her 
        G        F         E     Dm 
Into my heart so strong so true  
              Am          G      A        Am 
When will you love me, as I love you
