The Ballad Of The Fair Lady And The Handsome Boy Jan Hauenstein

(C) (D) (C) (Cj7) (D) (D7) (G) (G/F#) (Em)(hold)
(G/F#)There (G)once was (G/F#)a (Em)fair maid,
(Em/D)The (C)fairest of (D)all,
Her (C)beauty re(D)nowned near (D/F#)and (Em)far.(Cj7) (D)
Sweet (Em)lassie, sweet (Bm)lassie,
Tell me (C)what can I (D)do,
Shall I (D7)do, must I (G)do?(G/F#) (Em) (Em/D)
(C)Fain would I (G)win you and (D)conquer (D/F#)your (Em)heart,
(C)Fain would I (G)win you and (D)conquer (D7)your (G)heart.
(C) (D) (C) (Cj7) (D) (D7) (G) (G/F#) (Em)(hold)

(G/F#)Oh, (G)I am (G/F#)a (Em)lady,
(Em/D)And (C)you but a (D)boy,
Though (C)pleasing you (D)are to (D/F#)mine (Em)eye,(Cj7) (D)
I (Em)am like a (Bm)young dove
Who is (C)locked in a (D)cage,
In a (D7)cage, iron (G)cage,(G/F#) (Em) (Em/D)
(C)Oh to be (G)free to fly (D)high in (D/F#)the (Em)sky!
(C)Oh to be (G)free to fly (D)high in (D7)the (G)sky!
(C) (D) (C) (Cj7) (D) (D7) (G) (G/F#) (Em)(hold)

(G/F#)The (G)lovers, (G/F#)they (Em)fled
On (Em/D)the (C)very same (D)night,
To the (C)end of the (D)road they (D/F#)did (Em)ride.(Cj7) (D)
And (Em)there they made (Bm)love
By the (C)light of the (D)moon,
Of the (D7)moon, silver (G)moon,(G/F#) (Em) (Em/D)
(C)Sweet was the (G)night as they (D)lay side (D/F#)by (Em)side,
(C)Sweet was the (G)night as they (D)lay side (D7)by (G)side.
(C) (D) (C) (Cj7) (D) (D7) (G) (G/F#) (Em)(hold)

(G/F#)A (G)bitter (G/F#)old (Em)man
Was (Em/D)the (C)lord of the (D)land,
A bold (C)army was (D)at his (D/F#)com(Em)mand.(Cj7) (D)
And (Em)hot in pur(Bm)suit
Thundered (C)they through the (D)night,
The long (D7)night, cruel (G)night,(G/F#) (Em) (Em/D)
And (C)red in the (G)morning young (D)blood stained (D/F#)the (Em)sand,
(C)Red in the (G)morning young (D)blood stained (D7)the (G)sand.
(C) (D) (C) (Cj7) (D) (D7) (G) (G/F#) (Em) (Em/D) (C) (D) (hold) (D)(G5)

More than background music.
You'll hear folk, blues, jazzy songs, rock. Big voice. Albums recommended by Gordon Bok, Harvey Andrews, Jez Lowe and others.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
