    C majorC    G+G     FF      C majorC
What a hideous forest surrounded Whitehaven
 E minorEm      A minorAm     FF        G+G
Twisted black mountains, wolves howled in madness
 C majorC    G+G     FF       C majorC
Never I ventured beyond the stone tower
  E minorEm        A minorAm        FF      G+G     C majorC
As dusk spread her black wings at the edge of the dark wild wood

    C majorC    G+G     FF      C majorC
But one windy evening, gathering timbers
E minorEm     A minorAm       FF     G+G
Under white elm trees in shadows, I saw her
   C majorC      G+G        FF     C majorC
The darkest of beauties with her basket of cherries
   E minorEm     A minorAm          FF      G+G     C majorC  C/BC/B
The wind at her black skirt like the hands of the wild dark wood

 A minorAm           FF     G+G

   C majorC       G+G     FF     C majorC
She turned in her terror, a madness possessed us
   E minorEm     A minorAm       FF       G+G
In shadow she clawed me, we screamed in the brambles
 C majorC      G+G      FF      C majorC
Hunters came running with torches and axes
 E minorEm     A minorAm       FF        G+G     C majorC
Treetop to treetop, flames tore through the dark wild wood

 C majorC        G+G     FF       C majorC
Back down they dragged us past the stone towers
   E minorEm        A minorAm      FF        G+G
The church bells were ringing, the sky screamed in flashes
     C majorC      G+G     FF      C majorC
But we stood in the churchyard laughing like jackals
    E minorEm      A minorAm     FF      G+G     A minorAm
As the stone towers tumbled and bowed to the wild dark wood

 A minorAm
