Dm C Dm C
[Verse]
C F G C
'Twas over hills and over hills
G
Over hills and valleys
Am F G Am
Where my true love was kept from me
F Em G C
Quite out of spite and malice
[Verse]
F G C
I went down to her father's house
G
Enquiring for my jewel
Am F G Am
They answered me, “She is not here”
F Em G C
Which proved to me so cruel
[Verse]
F G C
This fair maid hearing of his voice
G
Her head put out the window
Am F G Am
She said, “My dear, you're welcome here
F Em G C
But locks and bolts do hinder”
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, locks and bolts
C
Locks and bolts will hinder
Dm
Oh, locks and bolts
C
Locks and bolts will hinder
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
F G C
He stood a moment all in amaze
G
All in amaze and wonder
Am F G Am
At length he drew, in passion flew
F Em G C
And broke the door asunder
[Verse]
F G C
Her uncle's servant, he being at home
G
Soon after him did follow
Am F G Am
He said, “Young man, you must quit here
F Em G C
Or in your own blood wallow”
[Verse]
F G C
He took his true love all by the hand
G
His sword all in the other
Am F G Am
He said, “If you have more right than I
F Em G C
Then come and fight the other”
[Chorus]

Oh, locks and bolts

Oh, locks and bolts
C
Locks and bolts will hinder

[Verse]
F G C
And now these two in wedlock joined
G
They do adore each other
Am F G Am
They oft times think all on that day
F Em G C
When the door he broke asunder
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, locks and bolts
C
Locks and bolts will hinder
Dm
Oh, locks and bolts
C
Locks and bolts will hinder
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, locks and bolts
C
Locks and bolts will hinder
Dm
Oh, locks and bolts
C
Locks and bolts will hinder
