Intro: C Dm G C (2x)
Dm G C F
1. Hearken to me both high and low
Dm G C
I`ll sing for you a song
Dm G C F
Of Kngs and Queens and rose-lipped maidens
Dm G
Courting light foot lads
2. Now love is grand when love is new
The heart blood it runs stong
There`s nothing a doting lad won`t do
To keep his princess warm
3. He`ll tease her with poems and promises
He`ll ask her out to dance
He`ll cajole and he`ll beg and he`ll always win
In bitter-sweat romance
C Dm G C
R: For time it comes and time it goes
Dm F G
It makes the strongest tree to bend
Dm G F C
Kings and Queens have no defence
C Dm G C
Time brings all things to an end
C Dm G C
4. But he goes out with his drinken pals
His eyes bagan to rove
He forgets all about the brown-eyed beauty
Who now sits home alone
5. There`s no more walks down lover`s lane
There`s no more wine in the sun
All that`s left is a hollow pain
Time alas you`ve won
R: For time it comes...
6. Now all who wish for love to stay
And last your whole life through
Keep ahead of time me boys
And never be untrue
R: For time it comes...
