Capo 1st fret

Verse 1
Come, let me sing into your ear
Those dancing days are gone
All that silk and satin gear
Crouch upon a stone
Wrapping that foul body up
In as foul a rag
Chorus
I carry the sun in a golden cup
The moon in a silver bag X2
Verse 2
Curse as you may I sing it through
What matter if the knave
That the most could pleasure you
The children that he gave
Are somewhere sleeping like a top
Under a marble flag?
Chorus
I carry the sun in a golden cup
The moon in a silver bag X2
Bridge
Come let me sing into your ear
I thought it out this very day
Noon upon the clock
All that silk and satin gear
A man may put pretence away
Who leans upon a stick
May sing, and sing until he drop
Whether to maid or hag
Chorus
I carry the sun in a golden cup
The moon in a silver bag X2
Solo
