[Verse 1]
Em
The elf-knight sits on yonder hill
Em Em Em7
Fine flowers in the valley

He blows his horn both loud and shrill

As the rose is blown

He blows it East, he blows it West

As the rose is blown

When she heard the elf-knight's horn a-blowing

As the rose is blown

"Would I had that horn a-blowing"
G D
Fine flowers in the valley
G Cadd9 G
"And yon elf-knight for to sleep in my bosom"
G6 Dsus2 G
As the rose is blown

Scarcely had she these words spoken

Fine flowers in the valley

When in at the window the elf-knight's broken

As the rose is blown

As the rose is blown

And they rode on to the greenwood together

Em
"Sit down a-while, lay your head on my knee"
Em Em Em7
Fine flowers in the valley
Cadd9
"That we may rest before I die"
Cadd9 Am7 Em
As the rose is blown
Em
She stroked him so fast the nearer he did creep
Em Em Em7
Fine flowers in the valley
Cadd9
And with a small charm, she's lulled him to sleep
Cadd9 Am7 Em Em Em7
As the rose is blown
[Chorus 3]
G Cadd9 G
With his own sword-belt, so fast she's bound him
G D
Fine flowers in the valley
G Cadd9 G
With his own dagger so sore she's stabbed him
G6 Dsus2 G
As the rose is blown
G Cadd9 G
"If seven kings daughters here have you slain"
G D
Fine flowers in the valley
G Cadd9 G
"Then lie you here, a husband to them all"

As the rose is blown
