Padstow Chords

(ver. 1)
Steeleye Span
[Intro]
F

[Verse]
F
Unite and unite, and let us all unite
                         C
For summer is a-coming today
    F
And whither we are going, we all will unite
       C                F
In the merry morning of May

[Verse]
F
The young men of Padstow, they might if they would
                         C
For summer is a-coming today
     F
They might have built a ship and gilded it with gold
       C                F
In the merry morning of May

[Verse]
F
The young women of Padstow, they might if they would
                         C
For summer is a-coming today
     F
They might have built a garland with the white rose and the red
       C                F
In the merry morning of May

[Verse]
F
Rise up, Mrs. Johnson, all in your gown of green
                         C
For summer is a-coming today
    F
You are as fine a lady as waits upon the queen
       C                F
In the merry morning of May

[Verse]
N.C.
Oh, where is King George? Oh, where is he-o?
N.C.
He's out in his longboat, all on the salt sea-o
N.C.
Up flies the kite, down falls the lark-o
N.C.
Aunt Ursula Birdwood, she had an old ewe
                               F
And she died in her own park-o

[Verse]
F
With the merry ring and with the joyful spring
                         C
For summer is a-coming today
    F
How happy are the little birds and the merrier we shall sing
       C                F
In the merry morning of May

[Verse]
F
Oh, where are the young men that now do advance?
                         C
For summer is a-coming today
    F
Oh, some they are in England and some they are in France
       C                F
In the merry morning of May
