As I Went Out One Morning

Key: F

Introduction:

       Dm                         C 
As I went out one morning
                               Dm     C                 Dm 
To breathe the air around Tom Paine's
     Dm                               C 
I spied the fairest damsel
           Dm             C             Dm 
That ever did walk in chains
     F                           Am 
I offer'd her my hand
         Dm           C           Dm 
She took me by the arm
     Dm                         C 
I knew that very instant
         Dm             C         Dm 
She meant to do me harm
   Dm                         C 
"Depart from me this moment,"
                               Dm     C                 Dm 
I told her with my voice
     Dm                               C 
Said she, "But I don't wish to,"
           Dm             C             Dm 
Said I, "But you have no choice."
     F                           Am 
"I beg you, sir," she pleaded
         Dm           C           Dm 
From the corners of her mouth
       Dm                         C 
"I will secretly accept you
         Dm             C         Dm 
And together we'll fly south."
       Dm                         C 
Just then Tom Paine, himself
                               Dm     C                 Dm 
Came running from across the field
     Dm                               C 
Shouting at this lovely girl
           Dm             C             Dm 
And commanding her to yield
     F                           Am 
And as she was letting go her grip
         Dm           C           Dm 
Up Tom Paine did run
       Dm                         C 
"I'm sorry, sir," he said to me
         Dm             C         Dm 
"I'm sorry for what she's done."
