A Maid In Bedlam

• Dm

Dm                   Am                Dm       Am     Dm 
Abroad as I was walking one evening in the spring 
                            Am          Em                  Dm 
I heard a maid in Bedlam so sweetly for to sing 
                                            Am 
Her chains she rattled on her hands 
Dm                 Em (or Am, depending on how you feel like singing that note) 
And thus replied she,  
Dm                 Am          Em          Dm   Am   Dm 
?I love my love because I know my love loves me? 

Dm                     Am                  Dm       Am     Dm 
Oh cruel were his parents who sent my love to sea 
                              Am                   Em                       Dm 
And cruel was the sailing ship that bore my love from me 
                                  Am 
Yet I love his parents since they're his  
Dm                                 Em 
Although they've ruined me 
Dm                  Am         Em           Dm  Am    Dm 
I love my love because I know my love loves me 

Dm                              Am             Dm         Am          Dm 
With straw I'll weave a garland, I'll weave it wondrous fine 
                           Am            Em        Dm 
With roses, lilies, daisies I'll mix the eglantine 
                            Am                     
And I'll present it to my love 
Dm                             Em  
When he returns from sea 
Dm                 Am         Em            Dm  Am    Dm 
I love my love because I know my love loves me 

Dm                          Am                  Dm       Am         Dm 
Just as she sat there weeping, her love, he came on land 
                                      Am            Em                         Dm 
Then hearing she was in Bedlam he ran straight out of hand 
                          Am 
He flew into her snow-white arms,  
Dm                     Em 
And thus replied he, 
Dm                  Am          Em           Dm  Am   Dm 
"I love my love because I know my love loves me" 

Dm                                 Am                     Dm         Am    Dm 
She said, "My love, don't frighten me, are you my love or no?" 
                                Am        Em               Dm 
"Oh yes, my dearest Nancy, I am your love also 
                          Am 
I am returned to make amends  
Dm             Em 
For all your injury 
Dm                 Am           Em          Dm  Am    Dm 
I love my love because I know my love loves me 
Dm                 Am           Em          Dm  Am    Dm 
I love my love because I know my love loves me""
