G C2 G
Once I had a sprig of thyme
Em G D
It grew both night and day
Em G C C2 Am7
'Till a false young man came a-courting to me
D D2 G
And he stole all my time away
[Verse 2]
G C2 G
Time it is a precious thing
Em G D
And time it will go on
Em G C C2 Am7
And time will bring all things to an end
D D2 G
And so does my thyme grow on
[Verse 3]
