Brandy [E]
wears[A] a[B] br[C#m7]aided chain 
made of[F3m7] finest silver 
[A]from the no[D]rth of [A]spain
a locket[E], 
that bears[A] t[B]he[C#m7] name
of [F3m7]the man [A]that Brandy[E] loves

He came, [E]
on a [A]sum[B]mers[C#m7] day 
bearing[F3m7] gifts

lord he w[C#m]as an honest man 
and b[E]randy does her [B]best to under[A]st[E]an[A]d
