Tim Obrien - Pretty Fair Maid In The Garden Chords & Tabs

                C
Pretty fair maid was in her garden 
               C        D                 G
When a stranger came a-riding by
                    Em                    C 
He came up to the gate and called her
                         D                  G  C  G
Said pretty fair maid would you be my bride 

She said I've a true love who's in the army 
And he's been gone for seven long years 
And if he's gone for seven years longer 
I'll still be waiting for him here

Perhaps he's on some watercourse drowning 
Perhaps he's on some battlefield slain 
Perhaps he's to a fair girl married 
And you may never see him again 

Well if he's drown, I hope he's happy 
Or if he's on some battlefield slain 
And if he's to some fair girl married 
I'll love the girl that married him 

He took his hand out of his pocket 
And on his finger he wore a golden ring 
And when she saw that band a-shining 
A brand new song her heart did sing 

And then he threw his arms all around her 
Kisses gave her one, two, three 
Said I'm your true and loving soldier 
That's come back home to marry thee 

Pretty fair maid was in her garden 
When a stranger came a-riding by 
He came up to the gate and called her 
Said pretty fair maid would you be my bride
