verse 1 
   C    G       C                        G 
My love she was fair and my love she was kind  
    C         G         C                   D    G       
And cruel the judge and jury that sentenced her away 
 G                 C              F           Am 
For thieving was a thing that she never was inclined to  
     C       G     C                          G      C      
They sent my love across the sea ten thousand miles away

C    G        C                         G 
All around my hat I will wear the green willow 
C    G        C              D     G 
All around my hat for a year and a day  
                     C               F             Am 
And if anyone should question me the reason for my wearing it 
     C         G       C                             G      C  
I'll tell them that my own true love is ten thousand miles away 
  
verse 2 
  C         G      C                            G 
I bought my love a golden ring to wear upon her finger 
  C     G      C                       D     G 
A token of our own true love and to remember me 
G              C              F             Am 
And when she returns again we never will be parted 
      C     G      C              G     C 
We'll marry and be happy for ever and a day.

verse 4 
C          G         C                        G 
Some young men there are who are preciously deceitful 
  C       G      C                             D      G 
A-coaxing of the fair young maids they mean to lead astray 
G                  C            F            Am 
As soon as they deceive them so cruelly they leave them

I'll love my love forever though she's far far away
