Ventry

A C#m “If you come with me to Ventry,” D A E Willie said to Caroline, F#m C#m “I will have happy heart.” D Bm7 “The pleasure will be mine”, she said, A E “The pleasure will be mine.” F#m C#m The rain was falling down so hard A C#m The drains were overflowing A D Bm E You’d almost think the flood was coming on. F#m C#m So they huddled in a corner, D Bm7 Trying to keep out of the water, A D A Bm E And he told her of the things he had in mind A C#m “If you come with me to Ventry,” D A E Willie said to Caroline, F#m C#m “I will have happy heart.” D Bm7 “The pleasure will be mine”, she said, A E “The pleasure will be mine.” F#m C#m The paer says the workforce A C#m Will be laid off after Christmas, A D Bm E There’s a downturn in the market, so they say F#m C#m I’ll not sit about here waiting D Bm7 On some company’s decision A D A Bm E So on Friday I’ll be lifting my last pay. A C# “If you come with me to Ventry,” D A E Willie said to Caroline, F#m C#m “I will have happy heart.” D Bm7 “The pleasure will be mine”, she said, A E “The pleasure will be mine.” F#m C#m We can pack our things and leave this place, A C#m And take the road to Ventry A D Bm E For the summer air is sweet as good red wine F#m C#m And when the autumn comes around again D Bm7 And corn is ripe for gathering A D A Bm E We’ll find out if my notion’s right or wrong. A C#m “If you come with me to Ventry,” D A E Willie said to Caroline, F#m C#m “I will have happy heart.” D Bm7 “The pleasure will be mine”, she said, A E “The pleasure will be mine.” F#m C#m Hand in hand they wandered down A C#m Beside the sleepy river A D Bm E Where the city sounds grew distant in their ears F#m C#m And the moonlight on the water D Bm7 Glinted silver as he kissed And the rumble of the city disappeared. A C#m “If you come with me to Ventry,” D A E Willie said to Caroline, F#m C#m “I will have happy heart.” D Bm7 “The pleasure will be mine”, she said, A E “The pleasure will be mine.”
