COTTAGE BY THE LEE
Tis well I [C]know that often [B]folk keep [C]wond'ring
When in my eyes a far off [CO]look they [G]see
That it can [Dm]be the cause of all my [G]dreaming
What is this [Dm]dream so very [G]dear to [C]me?

My home sweet [F]home that I so fondly [C]cherish
The dear ones there mean every- [D]thing to [G]me
In all this [Dm]world if there can be a [G]heaven
I'm sure it's [Dm]in that cottage [G]by the [C]Lee
Dm Dm G G Dm G C C

'Tis grand to [C]stand outside that [B]cottage [C]doorway
And gaze across the cornfields [CO]rich and [G]gold
To hear the [Dm]stream go rippling by the [G]meadow
Or watch the [Dm]shepherd calling [G]to his [C]fold

Yes that's my [F]dream, my lovely dream of [C]homeland
And tho' I thought a rover [D]I would [G]be,
It's soon I [Dm]found I left my heart be- [G]hind me
Within that [Dm]lovely cottage [G]by the [C]Lee

I [Dm]found I left my heart be- [G]hind me
Within that [Dm]lovely cottage [G]by the [C]Lee
