The Unquiet Grave

	G	C	D	D7
The	wind does	blow to	day, my	love,

C	G	D	D7
A few small	drops of	rain;

G	Bm	Am	C
Never had I	had but	one true-	love,

	G	D	D7	G
In	cold grave	she	is	lain.

	G	C	D	D7
I'll	do as	much for	my true-	love,

C	G	D	D7
As any	young man	may;

	G	Bm	Am	C
I'll	sit and	mourn all	on her	grave

	G	D	D7	G
A	twelvemonth	and	a	day.

	G	C	D	D7
The	twelvemonth	and a	day being	gone,

C	G	D	D7
A voice spoke	from the	deep

	G	Bm	Am	C
'	Who is it	sits all	on my	grave,

	G	D	D7	G
And	will not	let	me	sleep?

	G	C	D	D7
'Tis	I, tis	I, thine	own true-	love

C	G	D	D7
Who sits u	pon your	grave;

	G	Bm	Am	C
For I	crave one	kiss from	your sweet	lips,

	G	D	D7	G
And	that is	all	I	seek.

	G	C	D	D7
You	crave one	kiss from my	clay-cold	lips;

C	G	D	D7
But my breath is	earthly	strong;

	G	Bm	Am	C
Had	you one	kiss from my	clay-cold	lips,

	G	D	D7	G
Your	time would	not	be	long.

	G	C	D	D7
My	time be	low, my	time be	short

C	G	D	D7
Tomorrow	or to	day;

	G	Bm	Am	C
May	God in	heaven have	all my	soal

	G	D	D7	G
But I'll	kiss your	lips	of	clay.

	G	C	D	D7
"See	down in	yonder	garden	green,

C	G	D	D7
Love, where we	used to	walk,

	G	Bm	Am	C
The	sweetest	flower that	ever	grew

	G	D	D7	G
Is	withered	to	a	stalk.

	G	C	D	D7
The	stalk is	withered	dry, my	love,

C	G	D	D7
So will our	hearts de	cay;

	G	Bm	Am	C
So	make your	self con	tent, my	love,

	G	D	D7	G
Till	death calls	you	a	way.
