I dwell in the north in the green country
F G C G
Far I'm here, far I'm here
C F C
And I take to my rest at the end of day,
F G C G C
Whilst o'erhead pretty stars do play
G
And then I dream along
C G
Then I make a song
Am D Am
About everything that I've known and felt
And it makes my sadness melt

Dm
Then I wake up in the funny old kind of day
The rain has gone away,
Dm7 C
Watching the children sing and play
F C
In the garden and the roadway
F C
Up comes a little one singing a song
F C
About a friend she knows called Rosie
F C F C
Off to the greenwood you must go, bring-a me one fine posie
F C G C G F G
All of a sudden I'm light as air, I feel sad as a butterfly.
