lyrics

The Vagabond (R.L. Stevenson)


Em D Am Em
Give to me the life I love,
G D Em
Let the lave go by me,
Em D Am Em
Give the jolly heaven above
G D Am
And the byway nigh me.
Bm Em Bm Em
Bed in the bush with stars to see,
Bm A Em
Bread I dip in the river –
Em D Am Em
There's the life for a man like me,
G D Em
There's the life for ever.

Let the blow fall soon or late,
Let what will be o'er me;
Give the face of earth around
And the road before me.
Wealth I seek not, hope nor love,
Nor a friend to know me;
All I seek, the heaven above
And the road below me.

Bm Em
Or let autumn fall on me
F#m G
Where afield I linger,
C#m F#m
Silencing the bird on tree,
C#m F#m
Biting the blue finger.
A G
White as meal the frosty field -
D Em
Warm the fireside haven –
Bm A
Not to autumn will I yield,
Em G-A
Not to winter even!

Let the blow fall soon or late,
Let what will be o'er me;
Give the face of earth around,
And the road before me.
Wealth I ask not, hope nor love,
Nor a friend to know me;
All I ask, the heaven above
And the road below me.
