[Verse 1]
A C E E7 A
If I knew where the wild dove flew
C E E7 A
I would not tell the hunter, but I would tell you
D E A
They say you're not a brave man, hardly a man at all
D E A
You would not shoot the wild things, like brave men in the fall
G A
Mmmm mm
[Verse 2]
A C E E7 A
If I knew where calypso bloomed
C E E7 A
I would not tell the ladies, but I would tell you
D E A
You would not take the flower, for money or for love
D E A
And harm a single petal, 'cause you would not shoot the dove
G A
Mmmm mm

[Verse 3]
A C E7 A
If I knew where our green love grew
C E A
I would not tell the others, but I would tell you
D E E7 A
For 'though the world may call you craven, I know it is not true
D E E7 A
And 'though a sword may hang between us, my songs are all for you
G A
Mmmm mm
