Intro:
C  G  Dm  F  C

Verse:

                  G           Dm
I went out to the hazel wood

                   F           C
Because a fire was in my head

                     G           Dm
And cut and peeled a hazel wand

                   F            Am
And hooked a berry to a thread

Verse:

                          G            Gm
And when white moths were on the wing

F               C
And moth-like stars were flickering out

                    G            Dm
I dropped the berry in a stream

                    F             C
And caught a little silver trout

Verse:

                   G              Dm
When I had laid it on the ground

                   F             C
I went to blow the fire a-flame

                     G               Dm
But something made a rustling sound

                       F           Am
And some one called me by my name

Verse:

                G                Gm
It had become a glimmering girl

                   F            C
With apple blossom in her hair

                    G             Dm
Who called me by my name and ran

                      F                C
And faded through the brightening air

Verse:

                     G          Dm
Though I am old with wandering

                         F            C
Through hollow lands and hilly lands

                      G             Dm
I will find out where she has gone

                      F                Am
And kiss her lips and touch her hands

Verse:

                    G              Gm
And walk among long dappled grass

                        F               C
And pluck till time and times are done

                  G            Dm
The silver apples of the moon

                  F           C
The golden apples of the sun

                  G            Dm
The silver apples of the moon

                  F
The golden apples of the sun
