Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I think this is originally an English traditional song, but was made famous
in the 70s by Foster and Allen, a duo from Ireland. The chords work in
simple strumming patterns or just play them with a simple picking method.

G D G
Come all ye maidens young and fair
G Bm D7
And you that are blooming in your prime
G G7 C D7
Always beware and keep your garden fair
G D7 G
Let no man steal away your thyme
G D G
For thyme it is a precious thing
G Bm D7
And thyme brings all things to my mind
G G7 C D7
Thyme with all its flavours*, along with all its joys
G D7 G
Thyme, brings all things to my mind
G D G
Once I had a bunch of thyme
G Bm D7
I thought it never would decay
G G7 C D7
Then came a lusty sailor, who chanced to pass my way
G D7 G
And stole my bunch of thyme away
G D G
The sailor gave to me a rose
G Bm D7
A rose that never would decay
G G7 C D7
He gave it to me to keep me reminded
G D7 G
Of when he stole my thyme away
*sometimes i have heard versions where they say "labours" instead of "flavours", so use
either on preference :)
