William And Davy Chords

(ver. 1)
Kate Rusby
[Verse 1]
 D                              G
William and Davy were born in one hall
 G          D                                 G
They grew side by side, as they grew strong and tall
 D      Bm                  Bm           A   G
Shared most things, only quarrelled now and then
 A       Bm           G              A
In twenty years they were fine young men
 Bm          F#             G   A    D
In twenty years they were fine young men
 
 
[Verse 2]
 D                                G
William and Davy their hearts have been won
 G                D                     G
For each young man she's the very same one
 D      Bm                 Bm           A   G
Her eyes are blue; she has soft and snowy skin
 A       Bm           G           A
A fairer maiden there never has been
 Bm          F#      G     A     D
A fairer maiden there never has been
 
[Verse 3]
 D                                G
Said William to Davy this girl I must wed
 G          D                          G
She fills my dreams like she fills my head
 D      Bm              Bm         A   G
Please be kind her true lover I'll be him
 A        Bm           G          A
Around the ocean I'm willing to swim
 Bm          F#      G       A    D
Around the ocean I'm willing to swim
 
[Verse 4]
 D                                    G
Oh dearest William well you must play fair
 G          D                             G
She's in my heart and she will always be there
 D      Bm               Bm           A   G
And I am sure that she loves me more than thee
 A     Bm    G       A
In her arms I soon will be
 Bm     F#     G    A    D
In her arms I soon will be
 
[Verse 5]
 D                                G
Said William to Davy, away let us ride
 G                   D           G
Unto her and we'll stand side by side
 D      Bm                        Bm           A   G
There she'll choose who she'll love and who she'll wed
 A       Bm         G            A
And who will lie with her in her bed
 Bm      F#            G  A   D
Who will lie with her in her bed
 
[Verse 6]
 D                                            G
The brothers they rode through wind and through rain
 G          D                  G
Each of them her heart for to gain
 D      Bm              Bm             A   G
They rode until they were standing at her door
 A       Bm           G                A
Their bellies empty, their hearts were sore
 Bm          F#              G     A    D
Their bellies empty, their hearts were sore
 
[Verse 7]
 D                                     G
Then swiftly the maiden she opened the door
 G          D                               G
Young William and Davy, come round here no more
 D      Bm        Bm       A   G
Wed I am, oh and happy I will be
 A       Bm       G         A
Gold and silver he gave to me
 Bm       F#      G  A     D
Gold and silver he gave to me
 
[Verse 8]
 D                                G
William and Davy were born in one hall
 G     D                                  G
They rode side by side and they never did stall
 D      Bm             Bm           A   G
They both have lost the girl that they adore
 A       Bm           G                  A
Their bellies empty, their hearts still sore
 Bm          F#             G      A     D
Their bellies empty, their hearts still sore
 A       Bm           G                  A
Their bellies empty, their hearts still sore
 Bm          F#             G      A     D
Their bellies empty, their hearts still sore
 A   Bm     G       A
          ....still sore
 Bm    F#   G A   D
         ....still sore
