Verse 1:
DmDm
My lover comes to me with a rose on her bosom
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
The moon's dancin' purple all through her black hair
DmDm
And a lady's in waiting she'll stand 'neath my window
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
And the sun will rise soon on the false and the fair
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
Sing a-too a-loor-a-lie-o
Verse 2:
DmDm
She tells me she comes from my mother the mountain
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
Her skin fits her tightly and her lips do not lie
DmDm
She silently slips from her throat a medallion
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
Slowly she twirls it in front of my eyes
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
Sing a-too a-loor-a-lie-o
Verse 3:
DmDm
I watch her, I love her, I long for to touch her
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
The satin she's wearin' is shimmering blue
DmDm
Outside my window her ladies are sleeping
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
My dog's a-gone hunting, the howling is through
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
Sing a-too a-loor-a-lie-o
Verse 4:
DmDm
So I reach for her hand and her eyes turn to poison
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
And her hair turns to splinters and her flesh turns to brine
DmDm
She leaps 'cross the room, she stands in the window
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
And screams that my first-born will surely be blind
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
Sing a-too a-loor-a-lie-o
Verse 5:
DmDm
Then she throws herself out to the black of the nightfall
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
She's parted her lips, but she makes not a sound
DmDm
I fly down the stairway and I run to the garden
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
No trace of my true love is there to be found
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
Sing a-too a-loor-a-lie-o
Verse 6:
DmDm
So walk these hills lightly and watch who you're lovin'
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
By mother the mountain, I swear that it's true
DmDm
And love not a woman with hair black as midnight
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
And a dress made of satin all shimmering blue
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
Sing a-too a-loor-a-lie-o
Verse 7:
DmDm
Oh my lover comes to me with a rose on her bosom
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
The moon's dancing purple all through her black hair

And a lady's in waiting, she'll stand 'neath my window
FF C/EC/E A minorAm DmDm
