[Verse 1]
    Em
The elf-knight sits on yonder hill
Em                         Em Em7
Fine flowers in the valley
   Cadd9
He blows his horn both loud and shrill
Cadd9  Am7     Em
As the rose is blown
 
   Em
He blows it East, he blows it West
Em                         Em Em7
Fine flowers in the valley
   Cadd9
He blows it where he liketh best
Cadd9  Am7     Em    Em Em7
As the rose is blown
 
[Chorus 1]
G           Cadd9  G
Lady Isabel sits a-sewing
G                      D
Fine flowers in the valley
         G                      Cadd9  G
When she heard the elf-knight's horn a-blowing
G6     Dsus2   G
As the rose is blown
 
 G                Cadd9  G
"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
 
G                Cadd9       G
Scarcely had she these words spoken
G                      D
Fine flowers in the valley
     G                    Cadd9        G
When in at the window the elf-knight's broken
G6     Dsus2   G     G G/F# Em
As the rose is blown
 
[Verse 2]
        Em
"It's a very strange matter, fair maid" said he
Em                         Em Em7
Fine flowers in the valley
   Cadd9
"I cannot blow my horn, but you call on me"
Cadd9  Am7     Em    Em Em7
As the rose is blown
 
     Em
"But will you go to the greenwood side?"
Em                         Em Em7
Fine flowers in the valley
    Cadd9
"If you will not go, I'll cause you to ride"
Cadd9  Am7     Em
As the rose is blown
 
[Chorus 2]
   G                      Cadd9   G
He leapt on his horse and she on another
G                      D
Fine flowers in the valley
    G                   Cadd9       G
And they rode on to the greenwood together
G6     Dsus2   G
As the rose is blown
 
       G                    Cadd9     G
"Light down, light down, Isabel" said he
G                      D
Fine flowers in the valley
           G                       Cadd9      G
"For we're come to the place where you are to die"
G6     Dsus2   G
As the rose is blown
 
      G                      Cadd9       G
"It's seven kings daughters, here have I slain"
G                      D
Fine flowers in the valley
     G                Cadd9     G
"And you shall be the eighth of them"

As the rose is blown

     Em
"Sit down a-while, lay your head on my knee"

Fine flowers in the valley

As the rose is blown
 
    Em
She stroked him so fast the nearer he did creep
Em                         Em Em7
Fine flowers in the valley

And with a small charm, she's lulled him to sleep

As the rose is blown

         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"
G6     Dsus2   G
As the rose is blown
