Altan - Daily Growing
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
F G F G Am
[Verse 1]
G F Em
The trees, they grow high, and the leaves, they do grow green
G D Em
Many is the time my true love I've seen
F G Am Em
Many an hour I watched him all alone
G F
He's young but he's daily growing
[Verse 2]
Am G F Em
Father, dear father, you've done me great wrong
G D Em
You have married me to a boy who is too young
F G Am Em
I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen
G F
He's young but he's daily growing
[Verse 3]
Am G F Em
Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong
G D Em
I have married you to a great lord's son
F G Am Em
And he will be a man for you when I am dead and gone
G F
He's young but he's daily growing
[Interlude]
G F D G
[Verse 4]
Am G F Em
Father, dear father, if you see fit
G D Em
We'll send him to college for another year yet
F G Am Em
I'll tie a blue ribbon all around his head
G F
To let the maidens know that he is married
[Verse 5]
Am G F Em
One day I was looking over my father's castle wall
G D Em
I spied all the boys playing with a ball
F G Am Em
And my own true love, he was the flower of them all
G F
He's young but he's daily growing
[Interlude]
G F D G
[Verse 6]
Am G F Em
And so early in the morning at the dawning of the day
G D Em
They went into a hayfield for to have some sport and play
F G Am Em
And what they did there, oh, she never would declare
G F
But she never more complained of his growing
[Verse 7]
Am G F Em
At the age of fourteen he was a married man
G D Em
At the age of fifteen, the father of my son
F G Am Em
At the age of sixteen, his grave, it was green
G F
And death had put an end to his growing
[Verse 8]
Am G F Em
I'll buy my love some flannel, I'll make my love a shroud
G D Em
And every stitch I put in it, the tears, they'll pour down
F G Am Em
And every stitch I put in it, how the tears, they will flow
G F
Cruel fate has put an end to his growing
[Outro]
