Introduction: Em D G
D Em D
Truth is but a woman with flaxen hair
C G C
While blown by the wind, cannot begin
G
Lest the ravens utter in despair
Em G
For they cannot caress her flower
Em G
Nor in the hour, find hands of care
D4 G
So 'round the maypole drift their wings
D4 G
They cannot drink her beauty springs
D Em D
Truth is but a woman with eyes of black
C G C
While seen through her tears, can see no fears
G
Lest they be seen from the other side
Em G
And I cannot behold her smile
Em G
But in my trial hope to abide
D4 G
So 'round the maypole hover near
D4 G
In someway her lover here
D Em
And truth is but a woman, yeah, yeah
D Em D C
Truth is but a woman, adorned in white
G C
A child in waiting like a mystic bride
G
Without a husband standing by her side
Em G
And she cannot withhold her love
Em G
It's you and me she's thinking of
D4 G
So 'round the maypole drift our wings
D4 G
Listen to the song she sings
D Em D
Oh, truth is but a woman
