Chords with lyrics

Original in A, so when played in G: Capo 2


Intro: Chord diagramG+G


       Chord diagramG+G      Chord diagramD MajorD           Chord diagramG+G
It was on one cold winter night
         Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramA7A7             Chord diagramD7D7
When the wind blew across the wild moor
     Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramC majorC
When Mary came wandering home with her child
         Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramD7D7           Chord diagramG+G
Till she came to her own father's door
 Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramD MajorD            Chord diagramG+G
"Father, dear father," she cried
      Chord diagramG+G        Chord diagramA7A7       Chord diagramD7D7
"Come down and open the door
       Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramC majorC
Or the child in my arms will perish and die
         Chord diagramG+G                Chord diagramD7D7             Chord diagramG+G
From the winds that blow across the wild moor"


        Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramD MajorD           Chord diagramG+G
But her father was deaf to her cry
      Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramA7A7           Chord diagramD7D7
Not a sound of a voice did he hear
       Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramD MajorD            Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramC majorC
So the watchdog did howl and the village bells tolled
        Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramD7D7             Chord diagramG+G
And the wind blew across the wild moor


Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramC majorC   Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramD7D7 Chord diagramG+G


    Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramD MajorD             Chord diagramG+G
Oh, how the old man must have felt
        Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramA7A7            Chord diagramD7D7
When he came to the door the next morn'
       Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramD MajorD            Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramC majorC
And he found Mary dead but the child still alive
        Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramD7D7            Chord diagramG+G
Closely grasping its dead mother's arms


   Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramD MajorD           Chord diagramG+G
In grief the old man passed away
        Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramA7A7          Chord diagramD7D7
And the child to its mother went soon
    Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramD MajorD          Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramC majorC
And no one, they say, lives there to this day
        Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramD7D7       Chord diagramG+G
And the cottage to ruin has gone


Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramC majorC   Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramD7D7 Chord diagramG+G


        Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramD MajorD             Chord diagramG+G
But the villagers point out the spot
          Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramA7A7       Chord diagramD7D7
Where the willows grew over the door
         Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramC majorC
Saying, "There Mary died, once the gay village bride
         Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramD7D7             Chord diagramG+G
From the wind that blew across the wild moor"
