...UNDER THE GREENWOOD TREE... by Donovan
------------------------------...........

*from 'A Gift from a Flower to a Garden' (1968)*


Verse 1:

          C7                                    F
Under the Greenwood tree, who loves to lie with me?
                            C7
And tune his merry note, un-to the sweet bird's throat?

Chorus 1:

     G            F#           F
Come hither, come hither, come hither,
              C7         F
Here shall he see no ene-my,
    G      F         C7      G  F  C7
But winter and rough weather.

Verse 2:

C7                                              F
 Who doth ambition shun and love to live in the sun?
                             C7
Seeking the food he eats and pleased with what he gets.

Chorus 2:

     G            F#           F
Come hither, come hither, come hither,
              C7         F
Here shall he see no ene-my,
    G      F         C7      G  F  C7
But winter and rough weather.

Verse 2:

C7                                             F
 And if it do come to pass that any man turned ass,
                               C7
Leaving his wealth and ease, a stubborn will to please.

Chorus 3:

    G         F#        F
Duc-dame, duc-dame, duc-dame,
               C7                 F
There shall he see gross fools as he.
    G       F       C  
And it will come to me.

Coda:

C7
 Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?

(Repeat to Fade)
