Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes (chrom)

Trad hymn
Johnny Cash
Key: C
Time3/4

2 2 2 -2 -2 3 -2 2 -1 2
Drink to me on-ly with thine eyes
-2 3 1 -2 2 -1 1
And I will pledge with mine.
2 2 2 -2 -2 3 -2 2 -1 2
Or leave a kiss with-in the cup
-2 3 1 -2 2 -1 1
And I’ll not ask for wine.
3 3 2 3 4 3 3 2 3 3
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
3 -3 3 3 -2 2 2
Doth ask a drink di-vine;
2 2 2 -2 -2 3 -2 2 -1 2
But might I of Jove’s nec-tar sip,
-2 3 1 -2 2 -1 1
I would not ask for wine.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
Not so much hon’ring thee
As giving it a hope that there
It could not withered be;

But thou thereon did’st only breathe,
And sent’st it back to me,
Since when it grows and smells, I swear
Not of itself, but thee.
