verse 1 

Am               G 
I walked out one May morning 
       Am               Em 
For to take a pleasant walk, 
  Am       G         D         C      
I sat down beside an old stone wall 
    Em             Am 
To hear two lovers talk. 
   Am                   G 
To hear what they might say, my dear, 
        Am                  Em 
For to hear what they might say 
        Am       G            D          C   
So that I might know a little more about love 
  Em          Am 
Before I go away. 

Am            G 
P stands for Paddy, I suppose 
Am            Em 
J for my love John, 
        Am   G       D         C 
And the W stands for false William 
    Em                    Am 
And Johnny is the fairest man 
Am                    G 
Johnny is the fairest man, my dear, 
Am                    Em 
Johnny is the fairest man. 
    Am      G         D        C 
And I don’t care what anybody says, 
    Em                    Am 
But Johnny is the fairest man.

For you love another littel lad, 
      Em                   Am 
And your heart’s no longer mine.
