The Great Park - Lover O Lover
[Verse 1]
Am
Well I Was Walking My Lover My Lover Back Home
Dm E
We Stopped At The Old Oak To Pick Up The Bones
Am
And She Said To Me You Dear You Cannot Be True
Dm E
You Cannot Be Trusted And I Cannot Marry You
[Verse 2]
Am
But I'd Sold All My Fingers My Thumbs And My Toes
Dm E
And I Got Me A Pocket Of Silver And Gold
Am
And They Unrolled My Collar From Around My Neck
Dm E
And I Winked With The One Good Eye I Had Left
[Verse 3]
Am
I Said Lover Oh Lover Oh What Do You Know
Dm E
I've Been Ten Thousand Miles Away From My Home
Am
And I Walk With You Now With No Ease In My Legs
Dm E
No Pleasure To Be Found There No Spring In My Step
[Verse 4]
Am
And I'd Fixed Up A Coffin And I Nailed Down The Lid
Dm E
While She Hitched Up Her Dress And I Climbed Underneath
Am
And I Laid Down There Upon The Good Book
Dm E
Upon The Good Word The Good The Good And The Good
[Interlude]
Am Dm E
[Verse 5]
Am
And I Was Cruel When I Could Be And Kind When I Had To Be
Dm E
Taking As Much As Good Folk Would Allow Me
Am
But Oh My Oh My Oh Why Oh Why
Dm E
Why Does The Blood Flow So Fine
[Verse 6]
Am
When I'm Low On A Slow Train Stupid With Dumb Pain
Dm E Am
Miles From You And Won't Leave You Again I Swear It
Dm E Am
Oh I Know It's Not True But What Can One Do With A Lie But Tell It
Dm E Am
Oh I Know It's Not True But What Can One Do With A Lie But Tell It
[Verse 1]
