[Verse]

            G   C               G      C
O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?
            G     Em               D
O stay and hear! your true-love’s coming
                  G             C  
That can sing both high and low;
                G                C 
Trip no further, pretty sweeting,
               G                D
Journeys end in lovers’ meeting—       
                           G   C G C
Every wise man’s son doth know.


[Verse]

         G   C              G    C
What is love? ’tis not hereafter;
         G   Em             D
Present mirth hath present laughter;
                 G             C
What’s to come is still unsure:
               G               C
In delay there lies no plenty,—
                  G                 D
Then come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty,
                           G    C G C
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.


[Outro]

            G   C               G      C
O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?
            G   C               G      C
O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?
            G   C               G
O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?
