• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse 1:

C minorCm
Oft I'd heard of Lucy Gray
            FF  C minorCm
And when I crossed the wild
               FF  G7G7
I chanced to see at break of day
       C minorCm
The solitary child


Verse 2:
  C minorCm
No mate, no comrade, Lucy knew
           FF  C minorCm
She dwelt where none abide
               FF  G7G7
The sweetest thing that ever grew
         C minorCm
Upon the mountainside

Verse 3:
  C minorCm
You yet may spy the fawn at play
          FF  C minorCm
The hare among the green
               FF G7G7
But the sweet face of Lucy Gray
          C minorCm
Will never more be seen


Verse 4:
  C minorCm
Tonight will be a stormy night
           FF C minorCm
You to the town must go
                FF  G7G7
And take a lantern, child, to light
             C minorCm
Your mother through the snow


Verse 5:
   C minorCm
That, Father, will I gladly do
          FF C minorCm
'Tis scarcеly afternoon
                  FF G7G7
The village clock has just struck two
          C minorCm
And yondеr is the moon

Verse 6:
  C minorCm
At this the Father turned his hook
           FF C minorCm
To kindling for the day
               FF G7G7
He plied his work, and Lucy took
          C minorCm
The lantern on her way


Verse 7:
  C minorCm
As carefree as a mountain doe
            FF  C minorCm
A augmentedA fresh, new path she broke
                 FF G7G7
Her feet dispersed the powd'ry snow
             C minorCm
That rose up just like smoke


Verse 8:
   C minorCm
The storm came on before its time
           FF  C minorCm
She wandered up and down
              FF G7G7
And many a hill did Lucy climb
            C minorCm
But never reached the town


Verse 9:
   C minorCm
The wretched parents all that night
            FF  C minorCm
Went shouting far and wide
                  FF G7G7
But there was neither sound nor sight
           C minorCm
To serve them for a guide


Verse 10:
  C minorCm
At day-break on a hill they stood
           FF  C minorCm
That overlooked the scene
                  FF G7G7
And thence they saw the bridge of wood
           C minorCm
That spanned a deep ravine


Verse 11:
   C minorCm
They wept and, turning homeward, cried
             FF  C minorCm
"In heaven we all shall meet!"
               FF G7G7
When in the snow the mother spied
           C minorCm
The print of Lucy's feet


Verse 12:
    C minorCm
Then downwards from the steep hill's edge
               FF  C minorCm
They tracked the footmarks small
                  FF G7G7
And through the broken hawthorn-hedge
            C minorCm
And by the long stone-wall


Verse 13:
   C minorCm
And then an open field they crossed
              FF  C minorCm
The marks were still the same
                 FF G7G7
They tracked them on, not ever lost
            C minorCm
And to the bridge they came


Verse 14:
    C minorCm
They followed from the snowy bank
             FF  C minorCm
Those footmarks, one by one
             FF G7G7
Into the middle of the plank
            C minorCm
And further there were none


Verse 15:
   C minorCm
Yet some maintain that to this day
          FF  C minorCm
She is a living child
               FF G7G7
That you may see sweet Lucy Gray
          C minorCm
Upon the lonesome wild


Verse 16:
   C minorCm
O'er rough and smooth she trips along
          FF  C minorCm
And never looks behind
            FF G7G7
And sings a solitary song
           C minorCm
That whistles in the wind
