[Verse 1]
A    C   E          E7        A
If I knew where the wild dove flew
                     C      E      E7         A
I would not tell the hunter, but I would tell you
     D                E                          A
They say you're not a brave man, hardly a man at all
    D                   E                                  A
You would not shoot the wild things, like brave men in the fall
G    A
Mmmm mm


[Verse 2]
A    C   E        E7    A
If I knew where calypso bloomed
                     C     E       E7         A
I would not tell the ladies, but I would tell you
    D                  E                        A
You would not take the flower, for money or for love
    D             E                                     A
And harm a single petal, 'cause you would not shoot the dove
G    A
Mmmm mm

[Verse 3]
A    C    E7                   A
If I knew where our green love grew
                     C      E                 A
I would not tell the others, but I would tell you
                D                  E       E7               A
For 'though the world may call you craven, I know it is not true
              D                E         E7                   A
And 'though a sword may hang between us, my songs are all for you
G    A
Mmmm mm
