Am D Am D F

[Verse 1]
F                            Dm
He bear her off, he bear her down
   F                G
He bear her into an orchard ground


[Chorus]
F        Am  G        Em
Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
F     Am          D               Am
  The falcon hath bourne my mate away


[Verse 1]
F                   Dm
And in that orchard there was a hold
F                    G              C
That was hanged with purple and gold
G    F                        Gm  Dm
 And in that hold there was a bed
    F                  G
And it was hanged with gold so red


[Chorus]
F        Am  G        Em
Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
F     Am          D               Am
  The falcon hath bourne my mate away


[Verse 2]
F                Dm
 And on this bed there lyeth a knight
    F                 G
His wound is bleeding day and night
C      F                  Dm
By his bedside kneeleth a maid
                     G7        C   G
And she weepeth both night and day


[Chorus]
F        Am  G        Em
Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
F     Am          D               Am
  The falcon hath bourne my mate away


[Outro]
F                Gm         Dm
  By his bedside standeth a stone
F              G               F  Am  Am D G C
