A beautiful song from 1970's Aussie Legend... You rock Jon !
Six Ribbons by Jon English
INTRO: …
If I were a minstrel, I'd [CMaj7] sing you six love songs
To tell the whole world of the love that we share
If I were a merchant, I'd [CMaj7] bring you six diamonds
With six blood red roses, for my love to wear
But I am a simple man, a [CMaj7] poor common farmer
So take these six ribbons, to tie back your hair
Yellow and brown, blue as the sky
Red as my blood, green as your eyes
If I was a nobleman, I'd [CMaj7] bring you six carriages
With six snow white horses to take you anywhere
If I were the Emperor I’d [CMaj7] build you six palaces
With six hundred servants for comfort and fare
But I am a simple man, a [CMaj7] poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
[Instrumental] Key of G
If I were a minstrel, I'd [CMaj7] sing you six love songs
To tell the whole world of the love that we share
So be not afraid my love, you’re [CMaj7] never alone love
While you wear my ribbons, tie’in back your hair
Once I was a simple man, a [CMaj7] poor common farmer
I gave you six ribbons, to tie back your hair
Toor-A-lee, toor-A-lai all I can share
Is only six ribbons tie’in back your hair
[FEMALE VOICE] Toor-A-lee, toor-A-lie, all I can share
I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair
