[Verse 1]
G             A7       C      D7
The western wind is blowing fair
G           A7     C    D7
Across the dark Aegean Sea
G           A7      C      D7
And at the secret marble stair
G           Em     C    D7
My Tyrian galley waits for thee
 
[Bridge]
B7                    Em
Come down the purple sail is spread
C                      D
The watchman sleeps within the town
B7                    Em
Oh leave thy lily flowerbed
C                   D7
Oh lady mine, come down
 
[Chorus]
      G   A7    C
Come down
D7         G   A7  C  D7
Lady come down
      G   A7   C
Come down
D7         G   A7  C
Lady come down
D7         G   A7  C    Cm
Lady come down
 
[Verse 2]
G             A7      C      D7
She will not come I know her well
G           A7     C    D7
Of lover's vows she hath no care
G           A7      C      D7
And little good a man can tell
G           Em     C    D7
Of one so cruel and so fair
 
[Bridge]
B7                    Em
True love is but a woman's toy
C                      D
They never know their lover's pain
B7                    Em
And I who loved as loves a boy
C
Must love in vain
D7
Must love in vain
 
[Chorus]
      G   A7    C
Come down
D7         G   A7  C  D7
Lady come down
      G   A7   C
Come down
D7         G   A7  C
Lady come down
D7         G   A7  C    Cm
Lady come down
 
[Chorus]
      G   A7    C
Come down
D7         G   A7  C  D7
Lady come down
      G   A7   C
Come down
D7         G   A7  C
Lady come down
D7         G   A7  C    Cm
Lady come down
 
[Ending]
 
C Cm              G
      Lady come down------
