The Trees They Do Grow High

	  		
Verse 

Em              D             Am                   Em 
Trees they grow high and the leaves they do grow green 
D                     Am            Em 
Many years that I my true love have seen 
         D      Am              Em 
Many an hour I watched him all alone 
D              Am           Em 
He's young but he is daily growin' 

Em            D           Am             Em 
Father, dear father, you done me great wrong 
D                    Am            Em 
You married me to a boy who is too young 
            D        Am             Em 
I'm twice twelve and he is just forteen 
D              Am           Em 
He's young but he is daily growin' 

Em                  D             Am           Em 
Daughter, dearest daughter, I've done you no wrong 
D                    Am          Em 
I married you to a great Lord's son 
            D             Am              Em 
He'll be a man to you when I am dead and gone 
D              Am           Em 
He's young but he is daily growin' 

Em            D         Am       Em 
Father, dear father, if you see fit 
D                               Am       Em 
You send my love to college for one year yet 
          D      Am              Em 
Tie blue ribbons all around his head 
D                  Am             Em 
To let the ladies know that he's married 

Em              D              Am                Em 
One day I was looking from my father's castle' wall 
D                         Am               Em 
Saw the little boys all playing with their ball 
              D           Am            Em 
My own true love was the flower of them all 
D              Am           Em 
He's young but he is daily growin' 

Em              D             Am                   Em 
Trees they grow high and the leaves they do grow green 
D                     Am            Em 
Many years that I my true love have seen 
         D      Am              Em 
Many an hour I watched him all alone 
D              Am           Em 
He's young but he is daily growin' 

Em         D       Am           Em 
Age of forteen he was a married man 
D                 Am          Em 
Age of fifteen a father of a son 
           D           Am                   Em 
Age of sixteen on his grave the grass grew green 
D              Am               Em 
Cruel death it put an end with growin' 
D              Am               Em 
Cruel death it put an end with growin
