And in that orchard there was a hold
F                    G              C
That was hanged with purple and gold
    F                        Dm

And it was hanged with gold so red

    F                  Dm
And on this bed there lyeth a knight

His wound is bleeding day and night
F                         Dm
By his bedside kneeleth a maid
    F                G         C
And she weepeth both night and day

The falcon hath bourne my mate away

By his bedside standeth a stone
F              G            Am
