Sweet William Part 2 Chords

Capo 7th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

AmWill you put down your fiddle young Willie

Will you put down your fiddle and pFray

That the woCrld has beFgun with the biCrth of the Fsun

And its dAmeath the very same day

'Now kAmiss me young lover,' cried MaEmggie the glover

'We're a viFllage of babes and I'm oCver the mGoon"

Am'Where's all your fellas, those yoEmung buck propellers,'

Cried WiFllie who swam in the roCom full of swGoon

Will you put down your fiddle young Willie

Will you put down your fiddle and pray

That the world has begun with the birth of the sun

And its death the very same day

CStill the fiddle brGightly sAmung, its hoFrnpiCpe plaGying

It's a LondConderry tAmune, long goCne's the aftFernoon

We'll sing 'eCver and mFore and eCver will Ambe'

The old men he'd seen, all cracked teeth with glee

Brought gold for the boy who could carry all time

For they in dear guardianship sailing and broken

Ship wizened and aged in pursuit of the wine

'It's not what I came for,' cried Will with disdain for

The din and the clamour of faucets undone

'Til a glimpse of perfection in Sally's reflection

In a mirror that carried her light like the sun

Will you put down your fiddle young Willie

Will you put down your fiddle and pray (right now)

That the world has begun with the birth of the sun

And its death the very same day

With Will in the midst and no heat to desist

The gentrified stock who had seen off them all

And laughed at the lad seeing all that he had

And whispered their praise to the soul of his sword

If Will had known better, he'd not have known better

And history's song would have ended with time

So it's lucky for learning that history's yearning

Is not in repeating but for something that rhymes

Will you pick up your fiddle young Willie (pick it up)

Will you pick up your fiddle and play

For the world has begun with the birth of the sun

And its death the very same day

Still the fiddle brightly sung, its hornpipe playing

It's a Londonderry tune, long gone's the afternoon

We'll sing 'ever and more and ever will be'
