All Things Are Quite Silent

Bm A F#m Bm E Bm All things are quite silent, each mortal at rest F#m E F#m When me and my true love lay snug in one nest E D E D When a bold set of ruffians broke into our cave Bm E Bm A F#m And they forced my dear jewel to plough the salt wave Bm E Bm I begged hard for my darling, as I would for my life F#m E F#m But they'd not listen to me, although a fond wife E D E D Saying, the king must have sailors, to the seas he must go Bm E Bm A F#m Bm A F#m And they left me lamenting in sorrow and woe Bm E Bm Through green fields and meadows, we oft times have walked F#m E F#m And the fond recollections, together have talked E D E D Where the lark and the blackbird so sweetly did sing Bm E Bm A F#m And the lovely thrushes' voices made the valleys to ring Bm E Bm Now although I'm forsaken, I won't be cast down F#m E F#m Who knows but my true love, some day may return E D E D And will make me amends for my trouble and strife Bm E Bm A F# And me and my true love might live happy for life
