C Bb
She wore a cloak of feathers
C Bb
And rode a mare of purest white
C Bb
A silver chalice in her hand
C Bb
A look of sadness in her eyes
Pre-Chorus:
F
A thing of beauty to behold
C
But a sorrow to possess
C7
She'll take all that you offer
Bb C
Until there's nothing left, nothing left
Chorus:
C
Face hidden in shadow
Bb
Beneath a hood of quills
F
The pinions of her raiment
Eb
Conceal all her ills

Beneath her cloak of feathers

Lies a body soft and fine

Eyes of hazel green

Flowing hair as dark as wine

A thing of beauty to remember
Bb
But a sorrow to forget
C
She took all that I gave her
Bb
Till there was nothing left
C
Nothing left

Of owl and of raven
Bb
Of peacock and dove
C
Of swan and of sparrow
Bb
Woven with her love

Face hidden in shadow

Beneath a hood of quills

The pinions of her raiment
Eb
Conceal all her ills
