All Things Are Quite Silent Chords

[Intro]
Bm  A  F#m
 
[Verse]
    Bm               E                      Bm
All things are quite silent, each mortal at rest
               F#m  E        F#m
When me and my true love lay snug in one nest
       E           D              E        D
When a bold set of ruffians broke into our cave
         Bm             E                        Bm    A  F#m
And they forced my dear jewel to plough the salt wave
 
[Verse]
         Bm          E                          Bm
I begged hard for my darling, as I would for my life
                      F#m E     F#m
But they'd not listen to  me, although a fond wife
            E              D               E            D
Saying, the king must have sailors, to the seas he must go
         Bm        E                     Bm   A  F#m   Bm  A  F#m
And they left me lamenting in sorrow and woe
 
[Verse]
        Bm               E                          Bm
Through green fields and meadows, we oft times have walked
                  F#m E       F#m
And the fond recollections, together have talked
          E            D            E           D
Where the lark and the blackbird so sweetly did sing
        Bm               E                          Bm    A  F#m
And the lovely thrushes' voices made the valleys to ring
 
[Verse]
      Bm            E                      Bm
Now although I'm forsaken, I won't be cast down
                 F#m  E          F#m
Who knows but my true love, some day may return
         E        D            E           D
And will make me amends for my trouble and strife
    Bm        E                              Bm    A  F#
And me and my true love might live happy for life
