Ophelia’s Song

Sheet Music by Special Requests only

Performed by Ashley Marie Macdonald;  Music by Michael Mikulin

Verse 1 or A1
How should I your true love know
From another one?
By his cockle hat and staff
And his sandal shoon.

Verse 2 or A2
He is dead and gone, lady.
He is dead and gone;
At his head a grass-green turf,
At his heels a stone.

Chorus
White his shroud as the mountain snow,
Larded with sweet flowers;
Which bewept to the grave did not go
With true love showers.
With true love showers. {my addition}
Repeat Verse 1,2 and Chorus

Coda or A3 {my additions}
How should I your true love know,
From another one?
How should I your true love know
From another one? (4.5.23-40)

    1. Hi. I am about to launch a new book by a debut novelist. The title is ‘The Ophelia Box’. Mentioned in the novel is the song to which you have contributed the music. Performance of the song would be an introduction to the reading from the book and to exit the performance. This will be a not for profit event and is only to publicise the book. No-one attending will be paying a ticket or other price. Books may well be sold there, but this will only be a small local event, probably in a pub/arts cafe in Sheffield city centre.
      Is it possible to give me guitar chords for this?
      I will await your answer to the above before purchasing.

      Thanks,

      Bill
