C   G

[Verse 1]

     C          G         F          C
Some tyrant has stolen my true love away
    C           G             F         G
And here in old England I can no longer stay
     C                         F          G
I'll cross the wide ocean, all on my bare breast
   Am           G              F          C
In search of my true love that I love the best.

G

[Verse 2]

C              G            F            C
When that I've found out my joy and my delight
       C           G         F          G
I will welcome her kindly by day and by night.
         C                             F         G
Here's a health to all lovers that are loyal and just
              Am            G           F          C
And here's confusion to the rivals that live in distrust.

G

[Verse 3]

C         G              F              C
Venus and Volum they are both joined as one,
   C             G         F              G
So keep yourself single as you and I have done,
        C                           F            G
Oh, and keep yourself single, oh as constant I retire
     Am            G          F               C
Unto her like some Venus that flourishes like fire.

[Verse 4]

    C           G          F             C
The bugle shall speak, the serpent shall sing
            C              G            F                G
There'll be instruments of music for to make the valleys ring.
       C                             F                 G
Oh the huntsman he'll holler and the hounds make their noise
       Am             G              F               C
All to fill my love's heart with ten thousand bright joys.

[Reprise]

N.C.
Some tyrant has stolen my true love away
And here in old England I can no longer stay
     C                         F          G
I'll cross the wide ocean, all on my bare breast
   Am           G              F          C
In search of my true love that I love the best.
