"Song of wandering Aengus", Donovan
--------------------------
The music is based on a simple arpeggio which is repeated all
through the song. Obviously, you got to listen to the record
to hear all the variations which I didn't figured out here.
In my opinion, the speed is not important, but you should
make each note ring clearly.

Introduction : RIFF 1 (2x)

RIFF 1                        RIFF 2 (4x)
I went out ... to the hazel wood

RIFF 3             RIFF 4 (4x)
Because a fire was in my head

RIFF 5                 RIFF 6 - RIFF 1
And I cut and peeled a hazel wand

RIFF 2                      RIFF 1
And hooked a berry ... on a thread

And when white moths were on the wing
And moth-like stars were flickering out
I dropped a berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire aflame
But something rustled on the floor
And someone called me by my name.

It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossoms in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands
I will find out where she has goner
And kiss her lips and take her hands

And walk among long dappled grass
And pluck till time and times are done
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun
