Steeleye Span - All things are quite silent

All ^Bmthings are quite ^Esilent, each mortal at ^Bmrest When me and my ^F#mtrue ^Elove lay ^F#msnug in one nest When a ^Ebold set of ^Druffians broke ^Einto our ^Dcave And they ^Bmforced my dear ^Ejewel to plough the salt ^Bmwave ^{A F#m}

I begged ^Bmhard for my ^Edarling, as I would for my ^Bmlife But they'd not listen ^F#mto ^Eme, al^F#mthough a fond wife Saying, the ^Eking must have ^Dsailors, to the ^Eseas he must ^Dgo And they ^Bmleft me la^Ementing in sorrow and ^Bmwoe ^{A F#m Bm A F#m}

Through ^Bmgreen fields and ^Emeadows, we oft times have ^Bmwalked And the fond recol^F#mlect^Eions, to^F#mgether have talked Where the ^Elark and the ^Dblackbird so ^Esweetly did ^Dsing And the ^Bmlovely thrushes' ^Evoices made the valleys to ^Bmring ^{A F#m}

Now al^Bmthough I'm for^Esaken, I won't be cast ^Bmdown Who knows but my ^F#mtrue ^Elove, some ^F#mday may return And will ^Emake me a^Dmends for my ^Etrouble and ^Dstrife And ^Bmme and my ^Etrue love might live happy for ^Bmlife ^{A F#}
