[Verse 1]
Em          D                  Cmaj7   Bm
If I were a minstrel, I'd sing you six love songs
   Em             D            Em        D  Em

With six blood red roses, for my love to wear
    G      D             Cmaj7       Bm
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer
   Em          D           Em       D    Em
So take my six ribbons, to tie back your hair

Red as my blood, green as your eyes

If I were a nobleman, I'd bring you six carriages

With six snow white horses to take you anywhere
              D           Cmaj7         Bm
If I were the Emperor I’d build you six palaces
     Em          D            Em     D   Em
With six hundred servants for comforting fare
     G     D             Cmaj7       Bm
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer
   Em          D           Em       D    Em
So take my six ribbons, to tie back your hair
