Seventh Girl

F#m A F#m F#m A F#m [Verse] A E An outlandish knight came from the north lands A D And he scarcely could leave me alone F#m D And he promised he take me the wide world to see A E Oh fly home lost ladies, fly home A E He said “Come fetch to me some of your father's bright gold A D Fetch me some of your mother's own fee F#m D And come fetch me the best nags from out of your yard A E Where they stand full thirty and three F#m E A Where they stand full thirty and three” A E She's mounted onto her silver-white horse A D And he's mounted her father's strong grey F#m D And they've rode till they've come to the rocky sea shore A E Three dark hours before it was day A E “Oh light off, light off your silver-white horse A D And deliver yourself unto me F#m D For six pretty girls have I drowned right here A E And the seventh girl you now shall be F#m E A Oh the seventh girl you now shall be” A E “Pull off, pull off your soft silken gown A D And deliver it here unto me F#m D For the fabric's too fine and too costly by far A E To let rot in the cold briny sea A E And pull off, pull off your good holland smock A D And deliver it here unto me F#m D For it seems like a waste to let such clothes be lost A E While the fishes they nibble at thee F#m E A While the fishes they nibble at thee” A E “Well if I must strip down full naked and bare A D Cut the thorn that grows there by the brim F#m D Or else it might catch in my curly gold hair A E And tear my glittering skin” A E Well he's taken his knife and he's turned to the thorn A D That grows by the salt water's brim F#m D But so speedy she's run and she's pushed him so hard A E That she's thrown this false young man in F#m E A To the foam she's fast thrown him in A E He's tumbled up high and he's tumbled down low A D Till he's come to the rocky sea side, F#m D “Catch hold of my hand, my pretty fair lady A E And I will make you my bride” A E “Oh lie there, lie there, you false hearted man A D Make your bed in the deep briny blue F#m D For six pretty girls have you drowned right here A E But the seventh girl has drowned you F#m E A Oh the seventh girl has drowned you”
