Verse 1
   C    G       C                        G
My love she was fair and my love she was kind 
    C         G         C                   D    G      
And cruel the judge and jury that sentenced her away
 G                 C              F           Am
For thieving was a thing that she never was inclined to 
     C       G     C                          G      C     
They sent my love across the sea ten thousand miles away
 
Chorus
C    G        C                         G
All around my hat I will wear the green willow
C    G        C              D     G
All around my hat for a year and a day 
                     C               F             Am
And if anyone should question me the reason for my wearing it
     C         G       C                             G      C 
I'll tell them that my own true love is ten thousand miles away
 
Verse 2
  C         G      C                            G
I bought my love a golden ring to wear upon her finger
  C     G      C                       D     G
A token of our own true love and to remember me
G              C              F             Am
And when she returns again we never will be parted
      C     G      C              G     C
We'll marry and be happy for ever and a day.

Seven seven long years my love and I are parted 
C     G     C                     D        G
Seven seven long years my love is bound to stay 
G                     C                F              Am
Seven long years I'll love my love and never be false hearted

C          G         C                        G
Some young men there are who are preciously deceitful
  C       G      C                             D      G
A-coaxing of the fair young maids they mean to lead astray
G                  C            F            Am
As soon as they deceive them so cruelly they leave them 
     C       G       C                     G    C
I'll love my love forever though she's far far away
