Kind Sirs, Lovely ladies
      E5
This tale you'll enjoy
         G5                D5
of the way love once started
    C5           D5  3/8
between maid and boy.
      E5           B5
It began on an evening 
        C5   D5       E5
where feasting was done.
           C5            D5
Here our lover's encountered
                    E5
and this tale has begun.

verse 2
        G5          D5               E5
As the lad looked around him with wandering eyes
      G5            D5        C5           D5   3/8
he beheld there a lady her look like the skies
        E5             B5            C5     D5      E5
As the sun seemed to bless her with flames in her gaze
             C5         D5                          E5
't was this wonderful vision that filled him with praise.

verse 3
     G5                D5           E5
His mouth longed to speak of the fire in his soul
         G5          D5        C5     D5
to this beautiful maiden of virtues untold.
      E5             B5        C5   D5        E5
But before he could utter the words on his mind
         C5         D5                        E5
she had gone away, vanished and left him behind.

verse 4
       G5              D5            E5
As he caught himself staring, his eyes open wide,
        G5           G5               C5         D5     3/8
gazing down at the place where she fled from his sight 
    E5         B5      C5           E5
He decided to seek her a quest for his love.
      C5           D5                      E5
So he gathered his valour and soon he set off

verse 5
       E5         E5        E5        E5 E5
For a day and a full night he rode and he sought
       E5       E5           E5          E5
asking all he encountered where his love was brought.
        E5              E5         E5      E5 E5
By the trail that they showed him he wandered along,
            E5        E5        E5          E5
't was her image that led him and kept his love strong.

Kind Sirs, lovely Ladies, our tale is at end
           G5                D5         C5          D5
Did they spend their lived loving, or is their love spent?
         E5           B5         C5    D5      E5
Love is found by the seeker and wants to be sought.
        C5                D5               E5
May the Lord guard your pathways as you seek what he's stored.
