THE BONNY LIGHTER BOY chrom

English folk song

Key: Bm

-5 6 -6*-6*-6* 6 -6*   -8  -8 -7

It’s of a brisk young sail-or lad

-8 -6* -5 6    -5   -4

And he a pren-tice bound

-7  -8 -9  8*   -8     -7   -5

And she a mer-chant’s daugh-ter

 6   -6* -6* -5 5* -4   6

With fif-ty thou-sand pound

 -7   -8    8*  -9  8* -8 -7-5

They loved each oth-er dear-ly

6  -6* -6* -5  -4  6

In sor-row and in joy

-5   6  -6* -6* -6* -6*

Let him go where he will

 -8  -8  -8   -8

He’s my love still

 -7  7  -6* -5  6 -5 5* -4

He’s my bon-ny light-er boy
