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
strum , , end on
