Am G Am Em
As I went a walking way down by the green wood
C G Am Em
Down where the ivy and laurel entwine,
C G Am Em
I heard a bird singing his sad, plaintive love song;
Am Em Am
He mourned for his true love as I mourned mine,
Chorus
C G Am Em
Ever the winds keep on changing their journey
C Am Em
Ever the waves keep on changing the sea
C G Am EM
Ever green summer keeps changing to autumn;
Am Em Am
My true love has changed, But there's no change in me
Am G Am EM
I brought my love flowers all tied up with ribbons
C G Am Em
Soon the sweet flowers were faded and gone,
C G Am Em
Like the flowers my true love's affections have withered
Am Em Am
Which leaves me alone here to pine and to mourn.
Chorus
C G Am Em
Ever the winds keep on changing their journey
C Am Em
Ever the waves keep on changing the sea
C G Am Em
Ever green summer keeps changing to autumn;
Am Em Am
My true love has changed, But there's no change in me
Am G Am Em
My constant companions sadness and sorrow;
C D Am Em
Trouble has never forsaken me yet.
C G Am Em
But wherever I go till my days are all numbered,
Am Em Am
The love of my soul I will never forget.
Chorus
C G Am Em
Ever the winds keep on changing their journey
C Am Em
Ever the waves keep on changing the sea
C G Am Em
Ever green summer keeps changing to autumn;
Am Em Am
My true love has changed, But there's no change in me.
