D A G
The sun was high as they wandered down to the fair
A Bm A
The village was gathering by
D A G
The girls over one side waiting for young men to dance
A Bm A
Waiting for someone to try
G Bm A
When he asked her to dance, as the music began
G Bm
With his hands at her waist, he held her and
D A G
Span by, the lights on the trees in the square
A Bm A
To music that no one else heard
D A G
She whispered to him, it feels like I'm dancing on air
A Bm A
And I float with the grace of a bird
G Bm A
Well she remembers that glorious day
G Bm
When he leant in close, to gently say
F C G Am
I can't offer you money or jewels
F C G Am
I can't house you in mansion or hall
F C G Am
I have nothing, nothing to give you
G
Except my love
D A G
They walked out for a year, and wed at the turning of spring
A Bm A
With may blossom crowning the trees
D A G
The boredom took hold as she waited for life to begin
A Bm A
He left her to do as she pleased
G Bm A
But behind closed doors, as she lay on her bed
G Bm
He leant in close, and gently said
F C G Am
I can't offer you money or jewels
F C G Am
I can't house you in mansion or hall
F C G Am
I have nothing, nothing to give you
G
Except my love
G C F
So he stole from family and friends
G
Stole from the church
C F Am G
Though he always intended to pay what was owed
C F
After pleasing his wife
G Bb C G A Bm
Nothing he did, was ever enough
G A
G A Bm
G A
G Bm A
When they came to the door, to take him away
G Bm
He leant in close, to gently say
F C G Am
I have given you money and jewels
F C G Am
I've provided with all you desire
F C G Am
You have taken, all I could give you
G
Except my love
