Am

[Chorus]
     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

[Verse 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

[Verse 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

[Chorus]
     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

[Verse 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

[Verse 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

[Chorus]
     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
