My (C)young love said (D)to me,

(C)β€œMy she (D)moth er won’t mind, and my fa ther

won’t

(Bm)slight you for (C)your lack of (D)kind.”

And she stepped she

a way (Bm)from me and (C)this she did (D)say:

β€œIt

the (C)will not be (D)long, love,

(C)till (D)our wed ding day.”

As she (C)stepped a way (D)from me

(C)and she (D)moved through the fair,

and my fond ly

I (Bm)watched her move (C)here and move (D)there.

And she then smiled

as turned

like

the (C)swan in the (D)eve ning

(C)moves (D)o ver the lake.

The she dear.
