Bread And Fishes

   C         F           G7      
As I went a-walking one morning 
    Em
in spring
  Am             Dm              
I met with some travelers in an 
G7          C
old country lane
C          F            G7  
One was an old man the second a 
     Em
maid,
         Am           Dm          
And the third was a young boy who 
  G7          C
smiled as he said


[Chorus]
           F           C          
We’ve the wind in the willows and 
     F            C
the birds in the sky,
          F            C    
We've a bright sun to warm us 
      F        G7
wherever we lie,
    C              F            
We have bread and fishes and a 
G7         Em
jug of red wine
    Am           Dm          G7  
To share on our journey with all 
       C
of mankind.


[Verse 2]
   C          F              G7  
I sat down beside them, the 
         Em
flowers all around,
       Am        Dm           G7 
And we ate on a mantle spread out
          C
 on the ground
      C           F            G7
They told me of prophets and 
         Em
princes and kings
          Am          Dm        
And they spoke of the one God who 
   G7          C
knows everything

[Chorus]
           F           C          
Like the wind in the willows and 
     F            C
the birds in the sky,
          F            C    
We've a bright sun to warm us 
      F        G7
wherever we lie,
    C              F            
We have bread and fishes and a 
G7         Em
jug of red wine
    Am           Dm          G7  
To share on our journey with all 
       C
of mankind.


[Verse 3]
   C             F             G7
I asked them to tell me their 
             Em
name and their race
  Am         Dm            G7    
So I might remember their 
       C
kindness and grace.
C           F               G7   
My name is Joseph, this is Mary 
  Em
my wife
     Am          Dm             
And this is our young son, our 
G7          C
pride and delight
     C          F              G7
We travel the whole world, by 
         Em
land and by sea
    Am           Dm         
To tell all the people how they 
G7             C
might be free


[Chorus]
           F           C          
Like the wind in the willows and 
     F            C
the birds in the sky,
          F            C    
We've a bright sun to warm us 
      F        G7
wherever we lie,
    C              F            
We have bread and fishes and a 
G7         Em
jug of red wine
    Am           Dm          G7  
To share on our journey with all 
       C
of mankind.


[Verse 4]
 C        F               
Sadly, I left them, in an old 
G7           Em
country lane
    Am             Dm          G7
For I knew that I never would see
        C
 them again
C          F            G7       
One was an old man, the second a 
Em
maid
         Am          Dm         
And the third was a young boy who 
   G7           C
smiled as he said


[Chorus]
           F           C          
We’ve the wind in the willows and 
     F            C
the birds in the sky,
          F            C    
We've a bright sun to warm us 
      F        G7
wherever we lie,
    C              F            
We have bread and fishes and a 
G7         Em
jug of red wine
    Am           Dm          G7  
To share on our journey with all 
       C
of mankind.
