FLORA Peter, Paul and Mary Stookey/Travers/Mezzetti Pepamar Music Inc. ASCAP Capo 1. fret sounds original, very fast song, kind of western-sound Bm F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m Bm D A D E Bm F#m Bm When first I came to Louisville, my fortune there to find, Bm D F#m G D F#m Bm I met a fair young maiden there, her beauty filled my mind. Bm D F#m Bm F#m Bm Her rosy cheek, her ruby lips, they gave my heart no rest. Bm D E Em Bm A Bm The name she bore was Flo------ra, the lily of the west. Bm D A D E Bm F#m Bm I courted lovely Flora, she promised ne'er to go. Bm D F#m G D F#m Bm But soon a tale was told to me that filled my heart with woe. Bm D F#m Bm F#m Bm They said she meets another man who holds my love in jest. Bm D E Em Bm A Bm And yet I trusted Flo----ra, the lily of the west. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/p/peter-paul-and-mary/214467.html ] Bm D A D E Bm F#m Bm 'Way down in yonder shady grove, a man of low degree, Bm D F#m G D F#m Bm He spoke unto my Flora there and kissed her 'neath a tree. Bm D F#m Bm F#m Bm The answers that she gave to him like arrows pierced my breast. Bm D E Em Bm A Bm I was betrayed by Flo---ra, the lily of the west. Bm D A D E Bm F#m Bm I stepped up to my rival, my dagger in my hand. Bm D F#m G D F#m Bm I seized him by the collar and I ordered him to stand. Bm D F#m Bm F#m Bm All in my desperation I stabbed him in his breast. Bm D E Em Bm A Bm I'd killed a man for Flo---ra, the lily of the west. Bm D A D E Bm F#m Bm And then I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea. Bm D F#m G D F#m Bm They placed me in a pris'ner's dock and then commenced on me. Bm D F#m Bm F#m Bm Although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest. Bm D E Em Bm A Bm Still I love my faithless Flo---ra, the lily of the west.  |
