Fair young maid all in her garden
DmDm Piano Chord 
                  GG Piano Chord 
         DmDm Piano Chord 

Strange young man came riding by
FF Piano Chord 
    EmEm Piano Chord 
             CC Piano Chord 

Saying fair young maid will you marry me
EmEm Piano Chord 
          DmDm Piano Chord 

And this then sir was her reply
DmDm Piano Chord 
               GG Piano Chord 
            DmDm Piano Chord 

Oh no kind sir I cannot marry thee
GG Piano Chord 
                   DmDm Piano Chord 

For I've a love who sails the deep salt sea
FF Piano Chord 
    EmEm Piano Chord 
          CC Piano Chord 

Though he's been gone these seven years
EmEm Piano Chord 
              DmDm Piano Chord 

Still no man shall marry me
DmDm Piano Chord 
                    GG Piano Chord 
              DmDm Piano Chord 

What if he's died all in some battle slain
GG Piano Chord 
                DmDm Piano Chord 

Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea
FF Piano Chord 
     EmEm Piano Chord 
      CC Piano Chord 

What if he's found some another love
EmEm Piano Chord 
                    DmDm Piano Chord 

He and his new love both married be
GG Piano Chord 
          DmDm Piano Chord 

If he's found some other love
GG Piano Chord 
            DmDm Piano Chord 

He and his new love both married be
FF Piano Chord 
      EmEm Piano Chord 
       CC Piano Chord 

I wish them health and happiness
EmEm Piano Chord 
                  DmDm Piano Chord 

Where they now live all across the sea
GG Piano Chord 
          DmDm Piano Chord 

He picked her up all in his arms
GG Piano Chord 
           DmDm Piano Chord 

And kisses gave her one two and three
FF Piano Chord 
    EmEm Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 

Saying weep no more my own true love
EmEm Piano Chord 
             DmDm Piano Chord 

I'm your long lost John Riley
FF Piano Chord 
    EmEm Piano Chord 
          CC Piano Chord 

Saying weep no more my own true love
EmEm Piano Chord 
             DmDm Piano Chord 

For I'm your long lost John Riley
