Am Am+7 Am7 D6
Winds may blow o'er the icy sea;
Am Am+7 Am7 D6
I'll take with me the warmth of thee-
Am F Em7 Am Dm6 Am
A taste of honey, a taste much sweeter than wine.
Am Am+7 Am7 D6
I'll leave behind my heart to wear,
Am Am+7 Am7 D6
And may it e'er remind you of
Am F Em7 Am Dm6 Am
A taste of honey, a taste much sweeter than wine.
Bridge:
Am7 D6 Am7 D6
I will return, I'll return,
F Em7 Am Dm6 Am
I'll come back for the honey and you.
Am Am+7 Am7 D6
He ne'er came back to his love so fair,
Am Am+7 Am7 D6
And so she died dreaming of his kiss-
Am F Em7 Am Dm6 Am
A taste of honey, a taste more bitter than wine.
Am7 D6 Am7 D6
I will return, I'll return,
F Em7 Am Dm6 Am
I'll come back for the honey and you.
Coda:
F Em7 E7-9 Am Dm6 Am
I'll come back for the honey and you.
