I leaned my back against an oak, Thinking it was a trusty tree, But first it bent and then it broke, So did my love prove false to me. A ship there is and she sails the sea, She's loaded deep as deep can be, But not so deep as the love I'm in, I know not if I sink or swim. Oh, love be handsome and love be kind, Gay as a jewel when first it is new; But love grows old and waxes cold, And fades away like the morning dew. ************************************ | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | a Arpeggio (pick all strings in sequence, harp-like) ************************************
