Em Bm
Never, Never, Never had so far to travel
Em
Through the dust and the gravel
Bm
and through the green forest that covers the land.
Em Bm
And that is what is always calling me onward
Em
Leave you only with fondness
Bm
and thanks for your kindness as I take both your hands.
D C
A beautiful songbird is singing to me
G
So sweet and so bonnie is she
that the flowers turn to greet her
D
And if I were to meet you tomorrow
C
for the very first time
G
would you me a true lover of mine?
Em Bm
Never, never, never had so much to utter
Em
but a spell in the gutter can work on the tongue
Bm
keep it still in the head
Em Bm
We could talk the back legs off all of the horses
Em
in all of the stables and I wish I were able
Bm
and I wish I could stay
D C
A beautiful songbird is singing to me
G
So sweet and so bonnie is she
that the flowers turn to greet her
D
And if I were to meet you tomorrow
C
for the very first time
G
would you me a true lover of mine?
Em Bm
Never, never, never had so much to offer
Em
so why must we suffer
Bm
and why must it always feel this hard?
Em Bm
When the sun is out the grass is greener
Em
the sweet pea and camelia
Bm
the moss and the blossom that maketh your bed.
D C
A beautiful songbird is singing to me
G
So sweet and so bonnie is she
that the flowers turn to greet her
D
And if I were to meet you tomorrow
