(same chord progression as previous verses)

Nine-month blew with sleeted rain
And still he came not back again
Summoned she the hound to go
To seek him in Fennario

He came back the fated day
To find his lady gone away
Made haste to follow in her track
Where she could go but not turn back

At her side the blue-eyed hound did bay
While fast her breath did fade away
She cried out: Turn, my love, and go
I would not have you see me so

    G             Bb  C   Dm

e---3-------------1---x---x-----|

(instrumental break - same progression as verse)

I shall not turn, I shall not yield
Oh, selfsame serpent sting my heel
That bleeds my ladys blood away
Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay

Angels sing their souls to sleep
Four winds grace their breath to keep
Up above yon garden wall
Stands the sunflower, straight and tall

CHORUS:

C               Bb      F
Hill by dale now must I go
C             Bb    C    Dm
To the forest of Fennario

    G             Bb  C   Dm
