James Keelaghan - Rebecca's Lament
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C F C G Ddim7 Am F G C
F C G
The last time I saw him, he'd been swallowed by the wood
Am F C G
I'd have followed if I could, he'd have stayed had he wanted
C F C G
Had he the desire or had I the will
Am F C G
I would be with him still, but instead he just haunts me
F C F
I knew when he faded, I'd ne'er see him again
Dm Dm7/C F G
His laughter's embrace would no more me surround
C F C G
The chill that went through me, is the chill wind that blows
Ddim7 Am F G C
Through the soft midnight stillness of Chilicote town
🎸

INTERLUDE: F C G Ddim7 Am F G C
F C G
The smell of the blanket he wrapped 'round my shoulders
Am F C G
Comes back to me now on a faint wisp of smoke
C F C G
Comes back with a vengeance that makes me remember
Am F C G
Those nights 'round the fire, when fond words we spoke
F C F
That blanket was woven in some shattered village
Dm Dm7/C F G
That is gone now forever, may never be found
C F C G
His people are scattered, their fondest hopes dashed
Ddim7 Am F G C
He'd have been better off here in Chilicote town
INTERLUDE: F C G Ddim7 Am F G C
F C G
I knew from the start just where he stood
Am F C G
About his intentions, there was no mistake
C F C G
To stay, meant his dream, so dear to his heart
Am F C G
Was the one thing he knew he must somehow forsake
F C F
He just couldn't see that the old ways were passing
Dm Dm7/C F G
A new wave was rising and he would be drowned
C F C G
And like it or not, the history's written
Ddim7 Am F G C
Not in the forest, but in Chilicote town
INTERLUDE: F C G Ddim7 Am F G C
F C G
There's sadness in parting from what we hold dear
Am F C G
There's a danger in staying for fear we'll be lost
C F C G
One half of us wishes to live out our dreams
Am F C G
The other half reckons and counts out the cost
F C F
Though we may go on to a far greater glory
Dm Dm7/C F G
By knowing where destiny is sure to be found
C F C G
I wish him no ill, though I wish him no fame
Ddim7 Am F G C
Than such fame as he'd find here in Chilicote town
INTERLUDE: F C G Ddim7 Am F G C
F C G
The last time I saw him, he'd been swallowed by the wood
Am F C G
