This is not really a new version or a even a correction. Its an expanded chord set for Version 1 which felt incomplete for the way I like to learn. The difference being that this version has the chord changes posted above each verse instead of just the first one. Kuddos to aliceanne@gmail.com for sharing.
DmJanet sits in her lonely room FSewing a silken seam CAnd looking out on Carterhaugh Bb Am (D) Among the roses green
DmAnd Janet sits in her lonely bower FSewing a silken thread CAnd longed to be in Carterhaugh Bb Am (D) Among the roses red
DShe’s let the seam fall at her heel FThe needle to her toe FAnd she has gone to Carterhaugh Bb Am (D) As fast as she can go
DShe hadn’t pulled a rose, a rose FA rose, but only one CWhen then appeared him, young Tamlin Bb Am (D) Says, “Lady, let alone”
D“What makes you pull the rose, the rose? FWhat makes you break the tree? CWhat makes you come to Carterhaugh Bb Am (D) Without the leave of me?”
D“But Carterhaugh is not your own FRoses there are many CI’ll come and go all as I please Bb Am (D) And not ask leave of any”
DAnd he has took her by the hand FTook her by the sleeve CAnd he has laid this lady down Bb Am (D) Among the roses green
DAnd he has took her by the arm FTook her by the hem CAnd he has laid this lady down Bb Am (D) Among the roses red
DThere’s four and twenty ladies fair FSewing at the silk FAnd Janet goes among them all Bb Am (D) Her face as pale as milk
DAnd four and twenty gentlemen FPlaying at the chess CAnd Janet goes among them all Bb Am (D) As green as any glass
DThen up and spoke her father FHe’s spoken meek and mild C“Oh, alas, my daughter Bb Am (D) I fear you go with child”
D“And is it to a man of might FOr to a man of means COr who among my gentlemen Bb Am (D) Shall give the babe his name?”
D“Oh, father, if I go with child FThis much to you I’ll tell CThere’s none among your gentlemen Bb Am (D) That I would treat so well”
D“And, father, if I go with child FI must bear the blame CThere’s none among your gentlemen Bb Am (D) Shall give the babe his name”
DShe’s let the seam fall at her hell FThe needle to her toe CAnd she has gone to Carterhaugh Bb Am (D) As fast as she could go
DAnd she is down among the weeds FDown among the thorn CWhen then appeared Tamlin again Bb Am (D) Says, “Lady, pull no more”
D“What makes you pull the poison rose? FWhat makes you break the tree? CWhat makes you harm the little babe Bb Am (D) That I have got with thee?”
D“Oh I will pull the rose, Tamlin FI will break the tree CBut I’ll not bear the little babe Bb Am (D) That you have got with me”
D“If he were to a gentleman FAnd not a wild shade CI’d rock him all the winter’s night Bb Am (D) And all the summer’s day"
D“Then take me back into your arms FIf you my love would win CAnd hold me tight and fear me not Bb Am (D) *I’ll be a gentleman”
D“But first I’ll change all in your arms FInto a wild wolf CBut hold me tight and fear me not Bb Am (D) I am your own true love”
D“And then I’ll change all in your arms FInto a wild bear CBut hold me tight and fear me not Bb Am (D) I am your husband dear”
D“And then I’ll change all in your arms FInto a lion bold CBut hold me tight and fear me not Bb Am (D) And you will love your child”
DAt first he changed all in her arms FInto a wild wolf CShe held him tight and feared him not Bb Am (D) He was her own true love
DAnd then he changed all in her arms FInto a wild bear CShe held him tight and feared him not Bb Am (D) He was her husband dear
DAnd then he changed all in her arms FInto a lion bold CShe held him tight and feared him not Bb Am (D) The father of her child
DAnd then he changed all in her arms FInto a naked man CShe’s wrapped him in her coat so warm Bb Am (D) And she has brought him home
