Intro: D-G-D-G
G-D-G-D G-D-Em-A7-D-D
As (D)I went a (G)walkin'
one (A7)mornin' in (D)spring
I (Bm)met with
some (Em)travelers on an (A7)old country (D)lane
One was an (G)old man, the (A7)second a (D)maid
And the (Bm)third was a (Em)young
boy who (A7)smiled as he (D)said - D
Chorus
With the (G)wind in the (D)willows, and the (G)birds in the (D)sky
There’s
a (G)bright sun to (D)warm us, where(Em)ever we (A7)lie – A7
We (D)have bread and (G)fishes and a (A7)jug
of red (D)wine
To (Bm)share on our (Em)journey with (A7)all
of man(D)kind
So I (D)sat down be(G)side them, with the (A7)gay flowers a(D)round
And we (Bm)ate from a (Em)mantle spread (A7)out on the (D)ground
They told me of (G)people’s and
(A7)prophets and (D)kings
And (Bm)told of the (Em)one god who (A7)knew every(D)thing - D
Chorus
So I (D)asked them to (G)tell me their (A7)names and their (D)race
That (Bm)I might re(Em)member their (A7)kindness and (D)grace
"My name it is (G)Joseph, this is (A7)Mary
my (D)wife
And (Bm)this
is our (Em)young son, who (A7)brightens our (D)life" - D
Chorus
We’re (D)travelling to (G)Glaston, through (A7)England’s green (D)lanes
To
(Bm)hear of men’s (Em)troubles, to (A7)hear of men’s (D)pains.
We travel the (G)wide world, over
(A7)land and the (D)sea
To
(Bm)tell all the (Em)people how (A7)they can be (D)free - D
Chorus
So (D)sadly, I (G)left them, in that (A7)old country (D)lane
I (Bm)know that I (Em)never shall (A7)see them a(D)gain
One was an (G)old man, the (A7)second a (D)maid
And the (Bm)third was a (Em)young boy
who (A7)smiled as he (D)said - D
Chorus
G-D-G-D G-D-Em-A7-D-D
