Cherish The Ladies - The Verdant Braes Of Skreen
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Verse 1]
N.C.
As I roved out one evening fair
By the verdant braes of Skreen
N.C.
I set my back to a hawthorn tree
To view the sun in the West Country
N.C.
And the dew on the forest green
[Verse 2]
G D C D
A lad I spied on yon burn side
G C
And a maiden by his knee
G D C D
And he was as dark as the very brown wood
G D C D
And she all whey and wan to see
G Em D G
All whey and wan__ to see
[Verse 3]
D C D
"Oh sit you down on the grass," he said
G C
"On the dewy grass so green
G D C D
For the wee birds all have come and gone
G D C D
Since I my true love have seen
G Em D G
Since I my true love__ have seen"
[Instrumental]

"Then I'll not sit on the grass," she said
G C
"Can nae be a love of thine
G D C D
For I hear you love a Connaught girl
G D C D
And your heart's no longer mine," she said
G Em D G
"And your heart's no longer mine"
[Verse 5]
D C D
"I will climb yon high, high tree
G C
And I'll rob a wild bird's nest
G D C D
And back I'll bring whatever I find
G D C D
To the arms that I love the best," she said
G Em D G
"To the arms that I___ love best"
