Like Cecilia Eng’s Love of Mine which I also filked this is a darker version of the traditional song, Scarborough Fair. It’s only fair, since we both independently wrote Sing in the Circle filks.

So Dm
find 
me a Am
farm 
aDm
wash 
F
in 
the Am
tide
.
Dm
Find 
me a F
blade 
made of G
soft
, supple A
hide
.
I’ll be Dm
dressed 
in a F
shirt 
sewn withC
out 
any Dm
seams
So my Am
love
r can’t C
see 
how to Dm
rav
el Am
my 
Dm
dreams
!
The Dm
well 
of our Am
love’s 
gone Dm
dry 
F
as 
Dm
bone
,
Dm
year’s 
worth of F
food 
from one G
pep
percorn A
grown
.
You add Dm
spice 
to my F
life
,  said this  C
true
 love of Dm
mine
.
But C
spice 
can go Am
stale 
with Dm
time
.  Am
Dm
Spice 
can go C
stale 
with Dm
time
