ONCE I KNEW A PRETTY GIRL
Traditional folk song
Joan Baez
Key: Gm

7    7   7 -7  7   6   -5
Once I knew a pret-ty girl
-9  -9   8  8 -7*  8
I loved her as my life
-7*8  -7 -7   7  7    7   -7   -7*
I'd glad-ly give my heart and hand
-5 -6*  -6* -5  -5
To make her my wife
-7*-7 7  -7  -7 -5-7  7
Ooh, to make her my wife

7     7  -7  7 -6   -5
She took me by the hand
-9  -9  8  8  -7*   8
She led me to the door
8   -9   7    7  7   7  -7*
She put her arms a-round me
-5  -5     -6*    -6*   -6* -5  -5
Say-ing, "Please don't come no more"
-7*-77  -7    -5  -5  7
Ooh, Please, come no more

Well, I'd not been gone 
But about six months
When she did complain
And she wrote me a letter
Saying, "please come back again."
Ooh, Please, come again

So I sent her an answer
Just for to let her know
That no young man should venture
Where once he could not go
Ooh, Where once he could not go.

So come all you young lovers
Take a warning from me
And never hang your affections
On a green, growing tree
Ooh, on a green, growing tree

For the leaves they will wither
Roots will decay
And the beauty of a young girl
Will soon fade away
Ooh, will soon fade away
