Who is at My Window Weeping? (The Silver Dagger)
Capo 2
Em Bm
Em Bm
Who is at my window weeping,
G Bm
Weeping there so bitterly?
C Am
It's I, it's I, your own true lover
Bm Em
Arise, arise and pity me.
Em Bm
Darling, go and ask your mother
G Bm
If my wedding bride you'll be
C Am
If she says no, return and tell me.
Bm Em
And I'll no longer trouble thee.
Em Bm
I cannot go and ask my mother
G Bm
For I'm her only child and dear
C Am
Oh, darling, go and seek some other,
Bm Em
She whispered softly in his ear.
Em Bm
And Darling, go and ask your father
G Bm
If my wedding bride you'll be
C Am
If he says no, return and tell me.
Bm Em
And I'll no longer trouble thee.
Em Bm
I cannot go and ask my father
G Bm
For he lies in bed and rest
C Am
Beside him lie that silver dagger
Bm Em
To slay the one that I love best
Em Bm
Then William took that silver dagger
G Bm
And pierced it through his aching heart
C Am
I bid adieu, to all false loved ones.
Bm Em
I bid adieu, for now we part.
Em Bm
Then Mary took the blood-stained dagger
G Bm
And pierced it through her lily breast.
C Am
I bid adieu to my cruel parents.
Bm Em
I bid adieu, for now we rest.
C Am
I bid adieu to my cruel parents
Bm B Em
I bid adieu for now we rest
