 Em               G
Lady margaret, lady margaret
 D                Em
Was sowing at the seam
G       D           A
She's all dressed in black
     G                           
And a thought came in her head to 
  Em             Bm
roam in the woods
          A          Em           
To pull flowers to flower her hat,
      G
 my boys
Bm            A                Bm
To pull flowers to flower her hat
            Em            G       
So she hoisted up her petticoats a
  D         Em
 bit above the knee
     G           D           
And so nimbly she ran over the 
    A
ground
     G                    Em      
And when she came to the 
    Bm
merrygreen woods
       A           Em             
She pulled those branches down, my
   G     Bm
 boys
A                          Bm
She pulled those branches down
 Em           G              D   
Suddenly she spied a fine young 
    Em
man
           G D     A
He's standing by a tree
      G                Em     
He says how dare you pull those 
                Bm
branches down?
        A       Em         G     Bm
Without the leave of me, my dear
A                     Bm
Without the leave of me
   Em              G            D
Well she says this little wood it
       Em
 is my very own
G         D           A
My father gave it to me
G              Em        Bm
I can pull these branches down 
      A     Em        G        Bm
without the leave of thee, young man
A                        Bm
Oh without the leave of thee
Em         G             D       
And he took her by the milk-white
  Em
 hand
         G    D        A
And by the grass-green sleeve
    G          Em                 
He pulled her down at the foot of 
     Bm
the bush
       A              Em          
He never once asked her leave, my 
  G          Bm
boys
 A                          Bm
Oh he never once asked her leave
 Em        G           D      
And when it was done she twisted 
     Em
about
  G      D   G        A
To ask her true love's name
G            Em
But she nothing saw
               Bm
She nothing heard
A          Em        G    Bm
And all the woods grew dim
A                  Bm
And all the woods grew dim
G   A   G   A   Bm
Em                 G          D 
There's four and twenty ladies 
          Em
all in the land
G                 D            A
And they're all playing a chess
G                          Bm
Except it was the lady margaret
          A             Em     
And she's green as any glass, my 
      G     Bm
boys
A                       Bm
Oh she's green as any glass
A        Em           G      D 
And these four-and-twenty 
         Em
ladies all in the land
G          D        A
Grow as red any rose
G        A             Em Bm    
Except the lady margaret she's 
   A       Em        G
pale and wan, my boys
        Bm           A         Bm
Oh pale and wan she goes
Em         G            D       
Up then spoke the little serving 
Em
girl
    G      D               A
She lifted her hand and smiled
        G             A     Em   
She said i think my lady's loved 
       Bm
too long
      A     Em                
And now she goes with child, my 
  G     Bm
dears
        A                  Bm
Oh and now she goes with child

Em       G          D         
Up then spoke the second serving 
Em
girl
G            D        A
Oh ever and alas says she
G               A             
But i think i know a herb in the 
    Em          Bm
merry green wood
           A        Em         G 
That'll twine thy baby from thee
     Bm

       A            Bm
It'll rip off thy babe from thee
    Em           G          D    
So lady margaret she got herself 
     Em
a comb
          G    D            A
She made haste to comb her hair
      G              Em        
And then she's away to the merry 
        Bm
green woods
     A             Em     G    Bm
As fast as she can tear, my boys
   A           Bm
As fast as she can tear
  Em             G          D    
And she hadn't pulled in the 
         Em
merry green woods
 G     D             A
A herb that barely won
G                Em              Bm
When by her stands the young tamlin
        A       Em      G       Bm
He says margaret leave it alone
    A                 Bm
Oh margaret leave it alone
Em         G           D        
Why do you pull that bitter 
      Em
little herb
G        D        A
That herb that grows so grey
G                Em        Bm    
For to destroy that fine young 
  A     Em        G          Bm
baby that we got in our play, my 
dear
        A               Bm
Oh that we got in our play
 Em               G           D  
Well come tell me now young 
       Em
tamling says she
G          D          A
If an earthly man you be
G               Em          
I tell you no lies, says young 
      Bm

A         Em        G       Bm
I was christened as good as thee
          A                   Bm
I was christened as good as thee
  Em           G               D 
But as i rode a-hunting on a 
            Em
bitter bitter night
G            D         A
It was from my horse i fell
G                  Em            Bm
And the queen of elvin she caught me
      A     Em      G       Bm
Into yonder green hill to dwell
        A                    Bm
Oh into yonder green hill to dwell
Em               G          D   Em
But tonight is halloween lady
     G       D         A
The elvin caught will ride
G          Em                    Bm
And if you would your true love win
   A       Em       G             
By the millbridge you must hide, 
 Bm
my dears
     A                       Bm
By the millbridge you must hide
Em                       G
And first will run the black horse
D                G
Then will the brown
G     D               A
And then will run the white
G              Em                 Bm
You hold him fast, you fear him not
A         Em                   G
For he's the father of your 
           Bm
child, my love
A                     Bm
He's the father of your child
Em          G               D    
They'll turn me on in your arms 
  Em
lady
 G        D          A
Into many a beasts so wild
G                 Em             
But you hold them fast, you fear 
      Bm
no ill
A       Em                      
It's the father of your child, 
G        Bm
my love
    A                      Bm
It's the father of your child

G  Em  Bm  x2

Em        G             D       
So lady margaret, she gets 
      Em
herself a comb
G            D             A
She made haste to comb her hair
G              Em       
Then she's away to the old 
           Bm
millbrdige
A          Em         G         Bm
As fast as she could tear, my boys
A                    Bm
As fast as she could tear
Em                     G          
And about the dead hour of the 
D     Em       G    D      A
night she heard the bridles ring
G         Em              Bm    
Oh my boys, she had her heart 
    A      Em           G      Bm
more than any earthly thing it did
A                       Bm
More than any earthly thing
Em                 G         D
And first run the black horse
       Em
Then the brown
G         D             A
And then raced by the white
     G                 Em         
Well she held it fast, she feared 
    Bm
it not
               A      Em     G   Bm
For it's the father of her child
          A                 Bm
It's the father of her child
      Em       G     D       Em 
The thunderoll across the sky
     G

      D      A                 G
The stars blazed bright as day
           Em             Bm      
The queen of elvin gave a 
      A
thrilling cry
Em              G      Bm
Tamlin's away brave boys
A        Bm
Brave tamlin's away
Em         G                D   
The very first thing they turned
      Em
 him into
      G     D        A      G
Is a lion that runs so wild
                    Em           
But she held him fast, she feared 
     Bm
him not
           A             Em    
He's the father of her child, my 
      G     Bm
boys
        A                  Bm
He's the father of her child
        Em             G     D   
And the very next thing they 
       Em
turned him into
G         D         A
It was a loathsome snake
G             Em             Bm
He says hold me fast, fear me not
              A        Em    G   
For i'm one of god's own make, my
     Bm
 love
        A                Bm
Oh i'm one of god's own make
    Em         G          D      
And again they changed him all in
      Em    G
 her arms
      D             A
To a red-hot bar of iron
G                Em               
But she held it fast, she feared 
 Bm
it not
A          Em   G     Bm
It did to her no harm
   A              Bm
It did to her no harm
      Em         G        D      
And the very last thing they 
        Em
changed him into
G          D        A
Was like any naked man
G              Em            Bm
She flung her mantle over him
A          Em    G             Bm
She cried my love i've won i've won
    A          Bm
She cried my love i've won
Em       G          D           
But the queen of elvin she 
        Em    G
called for a bush
 D             A
She's red as any blood
G                   Em           
I should have torn out your eyes,
    Bm
 tamlin
A         Em         G      Bm
And put in two eyes of wood
A                         Bm
And put in two eyes of wood
