(words from the Joan Baez version)

A (x02220@1)ACome (x02220@1)all ye fair and tender ladies.
                               EBe (022100@1)careful how you court young men.
               Bm (x24432@1)E (022100@1)            AThey're (x02220@1)like a star on a summer's morning.
               E (022100@1) Bm (x24432@1)  E (022100@1)          A (x02220@1)  Asus4*
They'll first appear and then they're gone.

AThey'll (x02220@1)tell you some loving story
                                     EThey'll (022100@1)declare to you their love is true
               Bm (x24432@1)E (022100@1)             AThen (x02220@1)they will go   and court some other
               E (022100@1) Bm (x24432@1)  E (022100@1)      A (x02220@1) Asus4*
And that's the love they have for you

ADo (x02220@1)you remember our days of courting
                           EWhen (022100@1)your head lay upon my breast
                  Bm (x24432@1)   E (022100@1)                   AYou (x02220@1)could make me believe with falling of your arm
             E (022100@1)Bm (x24432@1)E (022100@1)    A (x02220@1)  Asus4*
That the sun rose   in the West

AI (x02220@1)wish I was a little sparrow,
                              EAnd (022100@1)I had wings with which to fly
              Bm (x24432@1)E (022100@1)            ARight (x02220@1)over to see  my false true-lover,
              E (022100@1)   Bm (x24432@1)E (022100@1)    A (x02220@1)  Asus4*
And when he's talking   I'd be nigh.

ABut (x02220@1)I'm not a little sparrow,
                              EI (022100@1)have no wings with which to fly
         Bm (x24432@1)E (022100@1)           ASo (x02220@1)I sit here in grief and sorrow,
            E (022100@1) Bm (x24432@1)E (022100@1)      ATo (x02220@1)weep and pass my troubles by.
