Loreena McKennitt ~ Stolen Child (Chords)
(Standard Tuning)

Intro: E minorEm C majorC  E minorEm  C majorC
   E minorEm             A minorAm     G/BG/B   C majorC
Where dips the rocky highland Of Sleuth Wood in the lake
   E minorEm             A minorAm     G/BG/B   C majorC
There lies a leafy island where flapping herons wake
   G+G      D MajorD        A minorAm       E minorEm
The drowsy water-rats There we've hid our faery vats
E minorEm    D MajorD      E minorEm   D MajorD    C majorC  D MajorD
Full of berries And of reddest stolen cherries

[Chorus:]
         G+G       D MajorD      A minorAm       E minorEm
     Come away, O human child to the waters and the wild
         E minorEm       D MajorD       G+G    D/F#D/F#     E minorEm
     With a faery, hand in hand for the world's more full of weeping
     D MajorD    A minorAm  G/BG/B    C majorC
     Than you/he can understand.

E minorEm              A minorAm     G/BG/B    C majorC
Where the wave of moonlight glosses the dim grey sands with light
  E minorEm              A minorAm  G/BG/B  C majorC
By far off furthest rosses we foot it all the night
G+G       D MajorD       A minorAm          E minorEm
Weaving olden dances mingling hands and mingling glances
     E minorEm        A minorAm A minorAm   G/BG/B  E minorEm
Till the moon has taken flight To and fro we leap
  E minorEm        D MajorD         G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
And chase the frothy bubbles whilst the world is full of troubles
D MajorD     A minorAm   G/BG/B   C majorC
And is anxious in its sleep.

[Chorus] - [Guitar Solo]

Where the wandering water gushes from the hills above Glen-Car

In pools among the rushes that scarce could bathe a star

We seek for slumbering trout and whispering in their ears

Give them unquiet dreams leaning softly out

From ferns that drop their tears over the young streams

[Chorus]

E minorEm              A minorAm G/BG/B  C majorC
Away with us he's going the solemn-eyed
   E minorEm               A minorAm      G/BG/B    C majorC
He'll hear no more the lowing of the calves on the warm hillside
    G+G       D MajorD     A minorAm      E minorEm
Or the kettle on the hob sing peace into his breast
E minorEm          A minorAm        A minorAm   G/BG/B   E minorEm
Or see the brown mice bob round and round the oatmeal chest.

[Chorus]

G+G         D MajorD     A minorAm       E minorEm
For he comes, the human child to the waters and the wild
    E minorEm      D MajorD          G+G  D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
With a faery hand in hand for the world's more full of weeping
D MajorD  A minorAm    G/BG/B  C majorC
Than you can understand.
