The Nightingale

the nightingale capo 1st fret ( there are two words were i could not put an apostrophe in - ( they are i m and we ll ) , so just put it in yourself as i have left the space ) . A D E A as i went a walking one morning in may E i met a young couple who fondly did stray A E one was a young maid so sweet and so fair A D E A and the other was a soldier and a brave grenadier Chorus A D E A and they kissed so sweet and comforting as the clung to each other E they went arm and arm along the road like sister and brother A E they went arm in arm along the road til they came to a stream A D E A and they both sat down together love to hear the nightingale sing A D E A well out of his knapsack he took a fine fiddle E and he played her such a merry tune that you ever did hear A E and he played her such a merry tune that the valley did ring A D E A and they both sat down together love to hear the nightingale sing repeat Chorus A D E A well i m off to india for seven long years E drinking wines and strong whiskeys instead of cool beers A E and if ever i return again it will be in the spring A D E A and we ll both sit down together love to hear the nightingale sing A D E A oh soldier , oh soldier , will you marry me E oh no said the soldier that never can be A E for i have a wife at home in my own country A D E A and she is the sweetest thing that you ever did see repeat Chorus
