Dm Am Dm Am Dm Abroad as I was walking one evening in the spring Am Em Dm I heard a maid in Bedlam so sweetly for to sing Am Her chains she rattled on her hands dm em (or am, depending on how you feel like singing that note) And thus replied she, Dm Am Em Dm Am Dm ?I love my love because I know my love loves me? Dm Am Dm Am Dm Oh cruel were his parents who sent my love to sea Am Em Dm And cruel was the sailing ship that bore my love from me Am Yet I love his parents since they're his Dm Em Although they've ruined me Dm Am Em Dm Am Dm I love my love because I know my love loves me Dm Am Dm Am Dm With straw I'll weave a garland, I'll weave it wondrous fine Am Em Dm With roses, lilies, daisies I'll mix the eglantine Am And I'll present it to my love Dm Em When he returns from sea Dm Am Em Dm Am Dm I love my love because I know my love loves me Dm Am Dm Am Dm Just as she sat there weeping, her love, he came on land Am Em Dm Then hearing she was in Bedlam he ran straight out of hand Am He flew into her snow–white arms, Dm Em And thus replied he, Dm Am Em Dm Am Dm "I love my love because I know my love loves me" Dm Am Dm Am Dm She said, "My love, don't frighten me, are you my love or no?" Am Em Dm "Oh yes, my dearest Nancy, I am your love also Am I am returned to make amends Dm Em For all your injury Dm Am Em Dm Am Dm I love my love because I know my love loves me Dm Am Em Dm Am Dm I love my love because I know my love loves me""
