Harlots // One Morning in May (Cover)

(LYRICS / CHORDS BELOW)

This is my cover of the song "One Morning in May" that was featured in episode 3x04 of the show "Harlots" (Hulu). Originally, it's sung by the character Margaret Wells (Samantha Morton) towards the end of the episode. The soundtrack version by Rael Jones is a gloomy spheric rendition.

To be honest, I didn't watch the episode. I stopped watching the show after episode 3x03 for reasons that those who've seen it will be able to surmise. But I was asked to cover this song so I did it.

Some of the lyrics are based on the traditional folk song by the name of "One Morning in May" (hence the title of the song on the soundtrack) but it seems to me that most of the lyrics as well as the melody are an invention of the show.

CHORDS:

verse: Am / C / Em / D / Am
alternate verse: Am / G / C / Em / D / Am (you can add a quick Em / Am during the "has many a foe" part)

LYRICS:

In the clear morning dew
As I lay down to muse
A fair maiden of honor
Appeared in my view

Says I, pretty maid
Let me not see your frown
But as these words were spoken
Her tears trickled down

While the moon does shine clear
I will mourn my sweet dear
Over mountains, clear fountains
Where no one would hear

While the moon does shine clear
And the river does flow
The fair maid of the morning
Has many a foe
