All Things Are Quite Silent

Bm  A  F#m

[Verse]
    Bm               E            
All things are quite silent, each 
          Bm
mortal at rest
               F#m  E        F#m
When me and my true love lay snug in
 one nest
       E           D              
When a bold set of ruffians broke 
E        D
into our cave
         Bm             E      
And they forced my dear jewel to 
                  Bm    A  F#m
plough the salt wave

[Verse]
         Bm          E            
I begged hard for my darling, as I
              Bm
 would for my life

                      F#m E 
But they'd not listen to  me, 
    F#m
although a fond wife
            E              D      
Saying, the king must have 
         E            D
sailors, to the seas he must go
         Bm        E              
And they left me lamenting in 
       Bm   A  F#m   Bm  A  F#m
sorrow and woe

[Verse]
        Bm               E        
Through green fields and meadows, 
                  Bm
we oft times have walked
                  F#m E       F#m
And the fond recollections, together
 have talked
          E            D          
Where the lark and the blackbird 
  E           D
so sweetly did sing
        Bm               E        
And the lovely thrushes' voices 
                  Bm    A  F#m
made the valleys to ring

[Verse]
      Bm            E             
Now although I'm forsaken, I won't
         Bm
 be cast down
                 F#m  E          
Who knows but my true love, some day
F#m
 may return
         E        D          
And will make me amends for my 
  E           D
trouble and strife
    Bm        E                   
And me and my true love might live
           Bm    A  F#
 happy for life
