Karan Casey - Love Is Pleasing

      [Intro]
C

[Verse]
        C/G                   C
I never thought my love would leave me
  F            C        D
Until that morning when he stepped in
      C/G                     C
Well, he sat down and I sat beside him
    F        C              C/G   C
And then our troubles, they did begin

[Verse]
    C/G                         C
Oh, love is teasing and love is pleasing
    F         C             D
And love is a pleasure when first it's new
    C/G                             C
But love grows older and love grows colder
       F      C            C/G     C
And it fades away like the morning dew

[Verse]
            C/G             C
There is an alehouse in yon town
         F            C         D
And it's there my love goes and he sits down
   C/G                           C
He takes a strange girl upon his knee
       F        C           C/G          C
And he tells to her what he once told to me

[Verse]
          C/G              C
I wish my father had never whistled
      F           C      D
And I wish my mother had never sung
           C/G              C
I wish the cradle had never rocked me
      F       C            C/G   C
And I wish my life, it had not begun
