[Verse 1]
Am                    
"Oh rise up my darling
 C
 and come with me
  G                      
I want to go with you and
 Am    G    Am
 leave this country
   Am                        
To leave my fathers dwelling,
      C
 this house and the land
   G                       
So away goes Jamie with his
 Am   G      Am
 love in his arms

[Verse 2]
     Am                   
They go over hills and the
 C
 mountains and glens
          G               
Traveling all through the 
             Am   G      Am
night in the mist in the rain
Am                         
But her father has followed 
         C
and has taken his men
       G                       
And he captured poor Jamie with
     Am   G      Am
 his love in his arms

[Verse 3]
    Am                       
Now home she was taken to her
 C
 room she is bound
           G                
While poor Jamie lies on the
 Am    G     Am
 cold stoney ground
Am                         
And he knows all the while
           C
 before the judge he will stand
        G                      
For the stealing of nothing but
     Am  G           Am
 his own true love's hand
Am  C   G   Am G Am
Am  C   G   Am G Am

[Verse 4]
       Am                
In the cold hard iron his
 C
 hands they are bound
    G                      
Handcuffed like a murderer 
    Am   G     Am
and tied to the ground
        Am                 
And the jailer tells Jamie
      C
 "last night I did hear
          G                 
That your Lady will hang you
    Am   G      Am
 or else set you clear"

[Verse 5]
    Am                         
The judge says "this young girl
       C
 being tender in youth
       G                   
If the Jamie is guilty she 
Am    G       Am
will tell the truth"
         Am            
Then the radiant beauty
   C
 before him did stand
        G               
"Oh I'm happy to see you
    Am    G    Am
 my bold Irish lad"

[Verse 6]
        Am              
But the father cries out
            C
 "Lord have pity on me
        G                 
For the man came to bring 
            Am G   Am
disgrace to my family
       Am                     
And he stole my only daughter,
     C
 all part of his plan
       G                  
And if you don't hang him 
  Am    G      Am
I will quit the land"
Am  C   G   Am G Am
Am  C   G   Am G Am

[Verse 7]
        Am                 
But the daughter is crying 
    C
and begging is she
     G                      
"The fault isn't Jamie's the
 Am    G       Am
 blame lies with me
  Am                     
I forced him to leave and
 C
 run away with me
         G              
And I'll die if I can't 
        Am   G  Am
save my bold Jamie"

[Verse 8]
      Am                   
"Good Lord he has stole all
     C
 her jewels and her rings
     G                     
Gold watches and amber, all
 Am   G      Am
 my precious things
    Am                       
And it´s cost me a fortune in
 C
 thousands of pounds
         G                     
And I'll take the life of Jamie
        Am    G     Am
 before I lie in the ground

[Verse 9]
      Am                     
"Good Lord dad I gave them as
   C
 a token of love
   G                      
An when we are parted I'll
 Am   G     Am
 have them removed
      Am                    
But a true lovers token wear
 C
 on your right hand
    G                        
And think of me darling when 
       Am    G     Am
you're in a foreign land"
