       G         Em     Am      D
   The lark sang in the sky, |     |
            G        D         Em      C
   When the maid she bound her gol-den hair

   With a blythe glance in her eye |  𝄎  |

   Was wait-ing her with joy |     |
      G       D        Em     C

   Your life they would des-troy |     |

   From her cruel kin and her home |     |
       G          D        Em    C
   And bright the wood and ro-sy red
           G         D          G
   And the tum-bling tor-rent's foam |  𝄎  |


            G         Em           C        D
10. But the mist came down and the tem-pest roared,
        G     Em          Am     D  
    And all a-round des - troy - ed
          G            D         Em     C
    And a pale drowned bride met Re-nar-dine
           G             D     G
    On the moun-tains of Po-me-roy |  𝄎  |

      G         D        Em       C
** An out-lawed man in a land for-lorn
      G          Em       C      D
   He scorned to turn and fly |     |
          G        D        Em       C
   But he kept the cause of free-dom safe
     G       D         G
   U-pon the moun-tain high |  𝄎  |

     G     Em    Am     D     G     Em    Am     D
  |     |      |     |     |     |      |     |     |

     G      D    Em     C     G     D      G
  |     |      |     |     |     |      |     |...
