As I Went Out One Morning

As I went out one morning 
                C5 
To breathe the air around Tom Paine's 
                    F5    
I spied the fairest damsel 
       C5        
That ever did walk in chains 
   Eb5 
I offer'd her my hand 
     C5 
She took me by the arm 
                  F5  
I knew that very instant 
     C5  
She meant to do me harm. 


 Eb5    F5     C5 
Wooo - oooo i - eeeeeeeeeee (2x) 


   C5                F5   
"Depart from me this moment" 
   C5 
I told her with my voice 
                        F5 
Said she, "But I don't wish to" 
     C5 
Said I, "But you have no choice" 
    Eb5  
"I beg you, sir", she pleaded 
          C5 
From the corners of her mouth 
                    F5 
"I will secretly accept you 
      C5         
And together we'll fly south". 


Eb5     F5     C5 
Wooo - oooo i - eeeeeeeeeee (2x) 


                F5 
Just then Tom Paine, himself 
   C5 
Came running from across the field 
                  F5 
Shouting at this lovely girl 
     C5  
And commanding her to yield 
        Eb5 
And as she was letting go her grip 
C5 
Up Tom Paine did run 
                     F5  
"I'm sorry, sir", he said to me 
      C5         
"I'm sorry for what she'd done". 


Eb5     F5     C5 
Wooo - oooo i - eeeeeeeeeee (2x)
