Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Merlin's Lament


INTRO: C majorC FF C majorC G+G

   C majorC   C/BC/B    FF       C majorC
In a castle keep, in a vault of stone
         FF     C majorC   G+G
In a house at the end of the lane
  C majorC    C/BC/B     FF     C majorC
An old man weeps in his door alone
           FF     C majorC
And he sings out this mournful refrain

CHORUS:
     FF    C majorC
She will not come back
     G+G    C majorC
She will not come back
      FF       C majorC      G+G
Though the mountains fall down to the sea
    FF      C majorC        G+G      A minorAm
And the sky burns to cinders and the rivers runs black
     FF    G+G    C majorC  G+G
She will not come back to me


  C majorC     C/BC/B      FF       C majorC
No lightning reed from his books of lore
           FF     C majorC   G+G
And the staff in the corner, no fire
    C majorC    C/BC/B     FF       C majorC
And the crystal ball, always bright before
        FF     C majorC
Is grey as the dust of desire


CHORUS:
     FF    C majorC
She will not come back
     G+G    C majorC
She will not come back
     FF      C majorC      G+G
Though we call on the powers that be
     FF      C majorC       G+G    A minorAm
They will cipher this message in his cold zodiac
     FF    C majorC
She will not come back
     G+G    A minorAm
She will not come back
     FF    G+G    C majorC  G+G
She will not come back to me

INSTRUMENTAL: (## same as 1st Chorus ##)

       FF C majorC G+G C majorC FF C majorC G+G FF C majorC G+G A minorAm FF G+G C majorC G+G


  C majorC   C/BC/B    FF       C majorC
And joy my love was a dancing spring
         FF      C majorC   G+G
And life was the touch of her lips
   C majorC     C/BC/B    FF    C majorC
And a brook ran mad to my cave downstream
         FF      C majorC
From the miracle hills of her hips


CHORUS:
     FF    C majorC
She will not come back
     G+G    C majorC
She will not come back
      FF        C majorC      G+G
Though the stars hang their tears in the trees
  FF     C majorC     G+G      A minorAm
And tireless Orion lies spent in his tracks
     FF    C majorC
She will not come back
     G+G    A minorAm
She will not come back
     FF    G+G    A minorAm FF
She will not come back to me
     C majorC    G+G    C majorC
