The Nightingale

	  		



Intro:  C    G  C      G    C     G  C  F  G  C 

verse 1: 
                         G        C 
As I was a-walking and a-rambling one day 
                                      G 
I spied a young couple, so fondly did stray 
              C                           G 
And one was a young maid, so sweet and so fair 
        C               F             G          C 
And the other one was a soldier and a brave grenadier 

tabchorus
F G C And they kissed so sweetly comforting as they clung to each other G They went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother C G They went arm and arm down the road 'til they came to a stream C F G C And they both sat down together, love, to hear the nightingale sing

verse 2: G C Then out of his knapsack he drew a fine fiddle G And he played her such merry tunes that you ever did hear C G And he played her such a merry tune that the valley did ring C F G C "Ah, softly", cried the fair maid, hear the nightingale sing

F G C And they kissed so sweetly comforting as they clung to each other G They went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother C G They went arm and arm down the road 'til they came to a stream C F G C And they both sat down together, love, to hear the nightingale sing

verse 3: G C Oh well, I'm off to India for seven long years G Drinking wine and strong whiskey instead of pale beers C G And if ever I return again, it will be in the spring C F G C And we'll both sit down together, love, to hear the nightingale sing

F G C And they kissed so sweetly comforting as they clung to each other G They went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother C G They went arm and arm down the road 'til they came to a stream C F G C And they both sat down together, love, to hear the nightingale sing

verse 4: G C "Now," says the fair maid, "will you marry me" G "Oh no," says the soldier, "however can that be?" C G "For I've me own wife at home in me own countery C N.C. (F) (G) C And sure she is the fairest little thing that you ever did see"

F G C And they kissed so sweetly comforting as they clung to each other G They went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother C G They went arm and arm down the road 'til they came to a stream C F G C And they both sat down together, love, to hear the nightingale sing
