Six Ribbons by Jon English

INTRO: 	[] [] … [] []

[] If I were a [] minstrel, I'd [CMaj7] sing you six [] love songs
To [] tell the whole [] world of the [] love that [] we [] share
If I were a [] merchant, I'd [CMaj7] bring you six [] diamonds
With [] six blood red [] roses, for [] my love [] to [] wear
But I am a [] simple man, a [CMaj7] poor common [] farmer
So [] take these six [] ribbons, to [] tie back [] your [] hair

Yellow and [D] brown, [G] blue as the [D] sky
[Em] Red as my [D] blood, green as your [Em] eyes

If I was a [D] nobleman, I'd [CMaj7] bring you six [Bm] carriages
With [Em] six snow white [D] horses to [Em] take [D] you [Em] anywhere
If I were the [D] Emperor I’d [CMaj7] build you six [Bm] palaces
With [Em] six hundred [D] servants for [Em] comfort [D] and [Em] fare
But I am a [D] simple man, a [CMaj7] poor common [Bm] farmer 
So [Em] take my six [D] ribbons to [Em] tie back [D] your [Em] hair

[Instrumental] Key of G

If [Em] I were a [D] minstrel, I'd [CMaj7] sing you six [Bm] love songs
To [Em] tell the whole [D] world of the [Em] love that [D] we [Em] share
So be not [D] afraid my love, you’re [CMaj7] never alone [Bm] love
While [Em] you wear my [D] ribbons, [Em] tie’in back [D] your [Em] hair
Once I was a [D] simple man, a [CMaj7] poor common [Bm] farmer
I [Em] gave you six [D] ribbons, to [Em] tie back [D] your [Em] hair

[] Toor--lee, toor--lai all I can [] share
Is [G] only six [D] ribbons [Em] tie’in back [D] your [Em] hair

[FEMALE VOICE]	[] Toor--lee, toor--lie, [] all I [] can [] share

I gave you six [D] ribbons to [Em] tie back [D] your [Em] hair
