[D]
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1 (a capella)}
[D]All a[A/C#]round my [D]hat I will wear the green [A]willow
[D]All a[A/C#]round my [D]hat for a twelve-month [E7]and a [A]day
And if [A7]anyone should [D]ask me the [G]reason why I'm [Bm]wearing it
[A7]It's [D]all [A7]for my [D]true love who's far, [A7]far a[D]way
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
[D]Fare thee [A7]well cold [D]winter and fare thee well cold [A]frost
[D]Nothing [A7]have I [D]gained, but my own true [E7]love I've [A/C#]lost
I'll [A7]sing and I'll be [D]merry when oc[G]casion [Bm]I do see
He's a [D]false de[A7]luding [D]young man, let him go [A7]farewell [D]he
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
The [D]other [A7]night he [D]brought me a fine diamond [A]ring
But he [D]thought to [A7]have de[D]prived me of a far [E7]better [A/C#]thing
But [A7]I, being [D]careful, like [G]lovers [Bm]ought to be
He's a [D]false de[A7]luding [D]young man, let him go [A7]farewell [D]he
