[Verse One]
Am
'Twas an eve in late summer
F
Autumn was nigh
Am Em
Still a warm sun did colour the sky
Am F
The meadows did shine in a strange golden light
Am Em
And vales did forth the soft haze of night
Am F
When through the air a voice did resound
Am Em
Beckoning the shepherd to rise from the ground
Am Fm F
'What sweet voice does sing in such a woebegone tone?
Am F Em C
What maiden does wander the heather alone?'
[Instrumental]

[Verse Two]
Am
Bewitched by its tone
F
He followed her song
Am
Whilst the sun did descend
Em
And the shadows grew long
Am
In the dim light of dusk
Fm
Near the sparkling cascade
Am Em
On a moss covered stone sat a crying young maid
Am
'Why art thou dreary?
Fm
What happened to thee?
Am Em
What song didst thou sing so woefully?'
Am
'Go whither O shepherd!
Dm
Don't sadden thine heart
Am Em
Thou canst not help me - not thou who thou art!
Am Dm
An old man who's been born in a cradle of wood
Am Em
Of a tree that at least a hundred years stood
Am Fm
Cut by a boy who at heart was still pure -
Am Em
Might be my redeemer if he knew that he could...
