Lady Come Down From the poem "Serenade" by Oscar Wilde

Verse 1
G A7 C D7
The western wind is blowing fair

Across the dark Aegean Sea

And at the secret marble stair
G Em C D7
My Tyrian galley waits for thee

Bridge

Come down the purple sail is spread
C D
The watchman sleeps within the town
B7 Em
Oh leave thy lily flowerbed
C D7
Oh lady mine, come down

Chorus:
G A7 C
Come down
D7 G A7 C D7
Lady come down
G A7 C
Come down
D7 G A7 C
Lady come down
D7 G A7 C Cm(Hold this one for a while, play 1st time only.)
Lady come down

Verse 2 (same chords)

She will not come I know her well

Of lover's vows she hath no care

And little good a man can tell

Of one so cruel and so fair

Bridge

True love is but a woman's toy

They never know their lover's pain

And I who loved as loves a boy

Must love in vain

Must love in vain

Chorus 2X

Ending:

strum C, Cm, end on G
