Capo 4
F C Dm
Dm C Dm C Dm
As I went out one morning, to breathe the air around Tom Paine
Dm C Dm C Dm
I spied the fairest damsel, that ever did walk in chains
F Am Dm C Dm
I offer'd her my hand, she took me by the arm
Dm C Dm C Dm
I knew that very instant, she meant to do me harm
F C Dm
Dm C Dm C Dm
Depart from me this moment, I told her with my voice
Dm C Dm C Dm
Said she, "But I don't wish to, said I, but you have no choice
F Am Dm C Dm
I beg you, sir, she pleaded, from the corners of her mouth
Dm C Dm C Dm
I will secretly accept you, and together we'll fly south
F C Dm
Dm C Dm C Dm
Just then Tom Paine, himself, came running from across the field
Dm C Dm C Dm
Shouting at this lovely girl and commanding her to yield
F Am Dm C Dm
And as she was letting go her grip, up Tom Paine did run
Dm C Dm C Dm
I'm sorry, sir, he said to me, I'm sorry for what she's done
F C Dm
