Unconstant Lover (CHORDS) by Maura O'Connell
[Intro]~
G D G
[Verse 1]~
D G
Oh,, it's meetings a pleasure and it's parting a grieve
D
And an unconstant lover is worse not a thief
Em C
For the thief he will rob you and just steal what you have
G D G
But an unconstant lover will follow you to your grave
Em C
The thief he will rob you and just steal what you have
G D G
But an unconstant lover will follow you to your grave
[Chorus]~
C
Oh,, they'll buy you fine trinkets,, fine garments and flowers
G D
And they'll call in at tea-time to pay their devours
Em C
They'll swear that they love you by the light of the moon
G D G
And propose marriage..? No,, sherry cobblers at Taylor's Saloon
[Verse 2]~
D G
Ah,, but when you are married,, look out for your hub
D
'Cause evenings you spend at the old fellows' club
Em C
At the officer's store he was kept,, he'll pretend
G D G
And so he was too,, drinking rum with a friend
Em C
At the officer's store he was kept,, he'll pretend
G D G
And so he was too,, drinking rum with a friend
[Verse 3]~
G D G
But fortunes are false and a fickle young day
D
And it's worse than bad luck for to die an old maid
Em C
And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life
G D G
Is a kind,, loving husband and a good-tempered wife
Em C
And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life
G D G
Is a kind,, loving husband and a good-tempered wife
