Intro: AmAm/GAmAm/GFEmAmF
I went out to the hazel wood,
GAm
Because a fire was in my head,
F
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
GAm
And hooked a berry to a thread;
GC
And when white moths were on the wing,
FDm
And moths-like stars were flickering our,
AmEGF
I dropped the berry in a stream
EmAm
And caught a little silver trout.
When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire aflame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And some one called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her head
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.
Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
GC
And walk among long dappled grass,
FDmD
And pluck till time and times are done
AmEGDF
The silver apples of the moon,
EmAm
The golden apples of the sun.
