[Verse]
               Am  Em    Am       D           C   G     Am
One night as I lay on my bed, I dreamed about a pretty maid
                  Em        Am     Em              D         G
Love so oppressed, I could take no rest; love did torment me so
    Am         Em       G  Am    G  Am
So away to my true love I did go


[Verse]
            Am         Em        Am     D             C  G       Am
And when I came to my love's window, I boldly called her by her name
                    Em        Am        Em                  D               G
For your sweet sake I'm come here this late, through this bitter frost and snow
    Am        Em      G  Am       G  Am
So open your window, my love, do


[Verse]
            Am           Em   Am          D           C      G        Am
My mam and dad they are both awake, and they’re sure for to hear us speak
                       Em        Am    Em            D               G
There'll be no excuse then, but sore abuse, many a bitter word and blow
      Am           Em      G  Am       G  Am
So begone from my window, my love, do


[Verse]
             Am           Em     Am          D           C      G        Am
Your mam and dad they are both asleep, and they’re sure not to hear us speak
                       Em       Am      Em              D                   G
They're sleeping sound on their bed of down, and they draw their breath so low
    Am        Em     G   Am      G  Am
So open your window, my love, do

[Verse]
          Am          Em          Am        D              C        G            Am
My lover rose and she opened the door, and just like an angel she stood on the floor
                       Em       Am       Em         D                  G
Her eyes shone bright like the stars at night, no diamonds could shine so
   Am          Em       G Am     G  Am
So in with my true love I did go
