Tell her to make me a camb-    ric shirt 
  
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green) 
G        Em        G A       Em 
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme 
  
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground) 
Em         G               D     Dsus4 D Dsus4 D 
Without no seams nor needlework 
  
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)

Then she'll be a true love of mine 
  
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

G        Em        G A       Em 
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme 
  
(Washes the grave with silvery tears) 
Em               G                 D       Dsus4 D Dsus4 D 
Between the salt water and the sea strands 
  
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)

Then she'll be a true love of mine
[Strophe]
Em                       D Dsus4 D  Em 
Tell her to reap it in a sickle  of leather 
  
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions) 
G        Em        G A       Em 
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme 
  
(Generals order their soldiers to kill) 
    Em        G                 D       Dsus4 D Dsus4 D 
And gather it all in a bunch of heather 
  
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten) 
Em          D                 Em 
Then she'll be a true love of mine

She once was a true love of mine
