(Capo on 3rd fret)

G+G Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm

FF        C majorC
I must leave you for a season
G minorGm   C majorC        DmDm
Go out logging hardwood timber
FF          G+G       Bb majorBb
Hardwood timber that grows so low
Bb majorBb      C majorC     DmDm
In the forest of Fennario

FF        C majorC
Tell me what you need to live, love
G minorGm   C majorC          DmDm
Do you ask that you might own?
FF         G+G          Bb majorBb
Take my blue-eyed hound to guard you
Bb majorBb   C majorC      DmDm
I will make my way alone

FF     C majorC        G minorGm
I will not return in winter
G minorGm  C majorC       DmDm
If I be not back by fall
FF        G+G        Bb majorBb
Seek me when the small sunflower
    C majorC        DmDm
Grows above the garden wall

                 -----
C majorC      Bb majorBb        FF    |
Fare you well and I would not weep  |
FF    C majorC          DmDm    |
Bid you tend your prayers to keep   |----Chorus
C majorC        Bb majorBb   FF       |
Hill by dale now must I go      |
C majorC       Bb majorBb  C majorC  DmDm      |
To the forest of Fennario       |
                 -----
G+G Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm

(same chords as previous verse)

Nine-month blew with sleeted rain
And still he came not back again
Summoned she the hound to go
To seek him in Fennario

He came back the fated day
To find his lady gone away
Made haste to follow in her track
Where she could go but not turn back

At her side the blue-eyed hound did bay
While fast her breath did fade away
She cried out: Turn, my love, and go
I would not have you see me so

G+G Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm

(instrumental break - same progression as verse)

I shall not turn, I shall not yield
Oh, selfsame serpent sting my heel
That bleeds my ladys blood away
Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay

Angels sing their souls to sleep
Four winds grace their breath to keep
Up above yon garden wall
Stands the sunflower, straight and tall


C majorC        Bb majorBb   FF
Hill by dale now must I go
C majorC       Bb majorBb  C majorC  DmDm
To the forest of Fennario

G+G Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm

solo for guitar .)
