E B A
I travelled among unknown men
B
In lands beyond the sea;
E B A
Nor, England did I know till then
B
What love I bore to thee
E B A
'Tis past, that melancholy dream!
B
Nor will I quit thy shore
E B A
A second time; for still I seem
B F#m A B A
To love thee more and more
B A B A B
Love thee more and more
[Verse 2]
E B A
Among thy mountains did I feel
B
The joy of my desire;
E B A
And she I cherished turned her wheel
B
Beside an English fire
E B A
Thy mornings showed, thy nights concealed
B
The bowers where Lucy played;
E B A
And thine too is the last green field
B F#m A B A
That Lucy's eyes surveyed
B A B A B
Lucy's eyes surveyed
[Verse 3]
E B A
She dwelt among the untrodden ways
B
Beside the springs of Dove
E B A
A Maid whom there were none to praise
B
And very few to love:
E B A
A violet by a mossy stone
B
Half hidden from the eye
E B A
-Fair as a star, when only one
B F#m A B A
Is shining in the sky
B A B A B
shining in the sky

She lived unknown, and few could know
A Esus4
When Lucy ceased to be;
E Asus2
But she is in her grave and, oh
A Esus4
The difference to me
E Asus2
A slumber did my spirit seal;
A Esus4
I had no human fears;
E Asus2
She seemed a thing that could not feel
A Esus4
The touch of earthly years
E Asus2
No motion has she now, no force;
A F#m
She neither hears nor sees;
E A
Rolled around in earth's diurnal course
A E
With rocks, and stones, and trees
