Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

The western wind is blowing fair

Across the dark Aegean Sea

And at the secret marble stair

My Tyrian galley waits for thee

Bridge

Come down the purple sail is spread

The watchman sleeps within the town

Oh leave thy lily flowerbed

Oh lady mine, come down

Chorus

Come down

Lady come down

Come down

Lady come down

(Hold this one for a while, play 1st time only.)

Lady come down

Verse 2

same chords)

She will not come I know her well

Of lover's vows she hath no care

And little good a man can tell

Of one so cruel and so fair

Bridge

True love is but a woman's toy

They never know their lover's pain

And I who loved as loves a boy

Must love in vain

Must love in vain

Chorus 2x
