Intro: Em
Em D C Bm
If I were a minstrel, I'd sing you six love songs,
Em Bm Em Bm Em
to tell the whole world of the love that we share.
Em D C Bm
If I were a merchant, I'd bring you six diamonds,
Em Bm Em Bm Em
with six blood red roses, for my love to wear.
G D Em Bm
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer,
Em Bm Em Bm Em
so take my six ribbons, to tie back your hair.
Em D C Bm
Yellow and brown, blue as the sky.
Em Bm ( Em )
Red as my blood, green as your eyes.
Em D C Bm
If I were a nobleman, I'd bring you six carriages,
Em Bm Em Bm Em
with six snow white horses to take you anywhere.

If I were the Emperor I’d build you six palaces,
Em Bm Em Bm Em
with six hundred servants for comfort and fare.
G D Em Bm

Em Bm Em Bm Em
so take my six ribbons to tie back your hair.
