I have here a very good version of the Sheperd Lad I came accross recently whilst on my travels.

Gmaj7                     F#7                           Bm7
Once there was a shepherd lad kept sheep upon the hill
Gmaj7                                 F#7                      A13b9
An he's laid his pipe and crook aside and there he's slept his fill.
Gmaj7                   F#7                   Bm7
He woke up on a riverbank on a fine May mornin,
Gmaj7                         F#7          A13b9
And there he spied a lady gay, swimming in a brook

Bm7                      D    Em                         F#7
Blow the winds I oh, Blow the winds I oh
Bm7                   Em                           C13                      Bm
Clear away the morning dew and blow the winds I oh


It makes the playing so much easier if you tune your guitar down to D G D# C F
