[Verse 1]
[Em] If I were a [D] minstrel, I'd [CMaj7] sing you six [Bm] love songs
To [Em] tell the whole [D] world of the [Em] love that [D] we [Em] share
If I were a [D] merchant, I'd [CMaj7] bring you six [Bm] diamonds
With [Em] six blood red [D] roses, for [Em] my love [D] to [Em] wear
But [G] I am a [D] simple man, a [CMaj7] poor common [Bm] farmer
So [Em] take my six [D] ribbons, to [Em] tie back [D] your [Em] hair
[Bridge]
[Em] Yellow and [D] brown, [Em] blue as the [D] sky
[Em] Red as my [D] blood, green as your [Em] eyes

If I were a [D] nobleman, I'd [CMaj7] bring you six [Bm] carriages
With [Em] six snow white [D] horses to [Em] take [D] you [Em] anywhere
If I were the [D] Emperor I’d [CMaj7] build you six [Bm] palaces
With [Em] six hundred [D] servants for [Em] comfort [D]ing [Em] fare
But [G] I am a [D] simple man, a [CMaj7] poor common [Bm] farmer
So [Em] take my six [D] ribbons to [Em] tie back [D] your [Em] hair
