Intro:
E minorEm A minorAm C majorC G+G

Verse 1:
G+G     Gadd4
Isabel is waiting
   C majorC       G+G
In a room of many shadows
  E minorEm         A minorAm
Her eyes like flashing diamonds
    C majorC         G+G
Shining brightly from the sea
  G+G       Gadd4
Her hair in silken tresses
    C majorC        G+G
Like a robe around her shoulders
    E minorEm       A minorAm
Hiding tantalising treasures
     C majorC       G+G  G+G
That the sun has never seen

Verse 2:
G+G     Gadd4
Isabel is watching
    C majorC         G+G
Like a princess from the mountains
    E minorEm         A minorAm
For the first soft snows of winter
    C majorC       G+G
And the icy winds they bring
    G+G        Gadd4
With a whisper of her sadness
    C majorC       G+G
In the passing of the summer
  E minorEm        A minorAm
Her crown is wild red roses
    C majorC       G+G
With a lace of forest green

Chorus:
    Bb majorBb       D MajorD        G+G
And she wraps her arms around me and she sighs
    Bb majorBb      D MajorD        G+G
And she sing to me in silence with her eyes
    E minorEm      A augmentedA        D MajorD C majorC B minorBm Bb majorBb A augmentedA A majorA
And her hair upon my pillow comforts me

Verse 3:
G+G     Gadd4
Isabel is weeping
    C majorC        G+G
And her eyes are full of wonder
  E minorEm         A minorAm
She knows that it's the time for her
    C majorC      G+G
And she cannot understand
G+G            Gadd4
She's a mistress of the moonlight
    C majorC       G+G
To the stars she is a sister
    E minorEm      A minorAm
And the morning now awaits her
   C majorC       G+G
To betray her once again

Chorus:
    Bb majorBb       D MajorD      G+G
And she whispers as she sadly slips away
     Bb majorBb           D MajorD        G+G
Then she smiles because there's nothing left to say
    E minorEm         A augmentedA        D MajorD
And she takes with her the sadness and the sun

Outro:
