Verse 1:
D MajorD          Gmaj7Gmaj7
I was singing like a bird
D MajorD           Gmaj7Gmaj7
From my porch just to hear
D MajorD      Gmaj7Gmaj7    D MajorD
My own voice echo in the canyon
   G+G      G#11G#11
When she appeared before me
G+G         G#11G#11
Protected from the cold
G+G        A augmentedA      D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4
Ringing with the echo in her heart
D MajorD          Gmaj7Gmaj7
She walked up to the porch
   D MajorD        Gmaj7Gmaj7
And I sang a good bit further
D MajorD       Gmaj7Gmaj7    D MajorD
Until we both sat there in silence
 G+G        G#11G#11
I asked her to my living room
 G+G         G#11G#11
A augmentedA place where we can warm our bones
  G+G       A augmentedA       D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4
She said, but I am warmed by the singing
  D MajorD       Gmaj7Gmaj7
And I can hear my husbandman
D MajorD         Gmaj7Gmaj7
Returning from his labor
  D MajorD     Gmaj7Gmaj7    D MajorD
And I have no food on the table
  G+G         G#11G#11
As quick as she came earlier
G+G          G#11G#11
She went back to the forest
G+G        A augmentedA      D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4
With a trail of roses behind her

Interlude:

Verse 2:
  D MajorD        Gmaj7Gmaj7
It snowed for many weeks
D MajorD        Gmaj7Gmaj7
Until I couldn't see the forest
    D MajorD     Gmaj7Gmaj7     D MajorD
And the blush had faded from the roses
  G+G         G#11G#11
And while it dropped I worked a lot
  G+G        G#11G#11
To gather wood and keep it hot
  G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4
And clear the porch off for singing
    D MajorD            Gmaj7Gmaj7
It was brighter than the other nights
  D MajorD          Gmaj7Gmaj7
The snow was filled with moonlight
   D MajorD        Gmaj7Gmaj7 D MajorD
There was not a sound in the canyon
  G+G       G#11G#11
So I sang softly my old song
G+G       G#11G#11
Building for a time so long
G+G       A augmentedA          D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4
Until my echo traveled through the forest
  D MajorD           Gmaj7Gmaj7
And there she was standing there
  D MajorD            Gmaj7Gmaj7
The moonlight in her auburn hair
D MajorD     Gmaj7Gmaj7       D MajorD
Completely protected from the cold
  G+G       G#11G#11
And all about her in the snow
   G+G    G#11G#11
Ruby red and black as coal
G+G     A augmentedA          D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4
Roses had blossomed all around her
