Tune the B string to A. The picking in this song is pretty simple. If you listen to the song with these chords in mind you should be able to work it out. Song is inspired by the book ‘A Portrait Of A Lady’ –by Henry James.

Chorus 1

C1                      G1          F1
You can have love and freedom, Isobel
You can have love and freedom, Isobel
F2                                       C1         G1              F1
Know this world can be brighter with your man
Know this world can           be a barren land…

Verse 1

C1                      G1          F1
My mind remains unchanged
–though I’ve travelled far
One’s right to love is not

A1            F1      G2       F1
Measured by      time,   rather knowing one’s mind…(& I know mine)

Chorus 2

Verse 2

My noble Lord be assured,
That I think you kind…
Take these words
& lock them inside, kill them with time…

Chorus 3

Bridge

C2         G3       F3
If you’ll be my wife, I shall know you
My dearest Happiness
Depends on it….
Miss Archer when I’m touched

A1   F1      G2       F1
It’s   for    life…
