Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm When I was apprenticed in London, I went to see my dear Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm The candles all were burning, the moon shone bright and clear A# D I knocked upon her window to ease her out of her pain Gm Dm Gm A# D Gm She rose up to let me in, then barred the door again Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm I like well your behavior and this I often say Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm I cannot rest contented when I am far away A# D The roads they are so muddy, we cannot walk about Gm Dm Gm A# D Gm So roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/traditional-irish/375998.html ] Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm Your father and your mother in yonder room do lie Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm A-hugging one another, so why not you and I? A# D A-hugging one another, without a fear or doubt Gm Dm Gm A# D Gm So roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm I pray thee speak more softly of what we have to do Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm Lest that our noise of talking should make our pleasure rue A# D The streets they are so nigh, Love, the people walk about Gm Dm Gm A# D Gm They may peep in and spy, Love, so blow the candles out Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm And if we prove successful, Love, please name it after me Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm Treat it neat and kiss it sweet and daft it on your knee A# D When my three years are over, my time it will be out Gm Dm Gm A# D Gm And I will pay my debt to you by blowing the candles out.  |
