Intro 
Em  D/F#  G  C 
Em  D/F#  G  C 
Em  D/F#  G  C 

Verse 
N.C.   Em   D         Em 
I'm as brown as brown can be 
                 D 
My eyes are black as sloe 
       G          D          C      G 
I'm as brick as a night-time nightingale 
   D      Em          C 
As wild as the forest doe 

Verse 
Em         D     Em 
My love was high and proud 
            D 
A fortune by his side 
      G      D           C         G  D 
But a fairer maiden than ever I'll be 
           Em     C D Em D/F# 
He took to be his bride.... 

Verse 
   G 
He sent me a letter of love 
   D 
He sent it from the town 
   C                         G       D 
He wrote to tell me that his love was lost 
  Em             C 
Because I was so brown 

Verse 
  G 
I sent back his letter of love 
   D 
In anger I wrote down 
     C                 G      D 
Your love is wasted on such as me 
  Em            C 
Because I am so brown
