Now that Samhain is over,
     C majorC              G+G
And the Sidhe have returned to their home,
   A minorAm     C majorC      FF   E minorEm
The dead have followed the Raven's song,
G+G              FF
And no longer among us they roam.
C majorC             FF C majorC
The wisdom of our ancient past,
C majorC            G+G
Show us how to ride the storm,
      A minorAm      C majorC      FF  E minorEm
For their tombs they swallow the rising sun,
     G+G        FF
And the Mabon is always reborn.
FF
Reborn, oh

  C majorC          FF    C majorC
So come all you people, come and sing with me,

Join our voices, and sing the long nights away,
C majorC           FF     C majorC     C majorC
All over the land, a chorus of voices will sing,
        FF         G+G
For the rising Sun on Midwinter's Day.

The land may be barren and lifeless,
   C majorC            G+G
The ground may be frozen and hard,
     A minorAm    C majorC      FF     E minorEm
And the rain that fell has now turned to ice,
   G+G           FF
The Winter is showing her card,
   C majorC          FF   C majorC
But now the Sun king has rested,
     C majorC            G+G
And his eyes have turned to the Earth,
   A minorAm      C majorC      FF      E minorEm
For three days the Sun has been still in the sky,
     G+G             FF
But the time has now come for his birth.
FF
His birth, oh

Some say Jesus was born today,

Some say he is the Mabon,

Some say that he is the Son of God,

While others the Son of the Sun,

Some they listen in woodlands,
C majorC        G+G
For the call of Herne,
    A minorAm     C majorC     FF    E minorEm
While others they hear the clash of swords,

For the Oak King will return!
