Intro:

This is a story
Dm
   About two children
G7/D                  A#/D
    One who hid to be heard
                          C
And another who ran to be remembered
C

I present to you, "Kid & Leveret"
Dm                  G7/D
Ooh-woah, ooh-woah, ooh-woah, ooh-woah
A#/D       C
Ooh, woah, oh-oh, oh

Chorus:
Dm                 G7/D
Found in forgotten fields of flaxen
A#/D              C
I was the leveret in hiding
Dm                 G7/D
Rowdy and rigorous they reave and rally
A#/D                    C
There, where the houses once stood

Verse 1:
Dm
It used to be a kingdom
      G7/D
For a foolish majesty
        A#/D
Then he put his hands over his ears
    C
And welcomed entropy
Dm
Camе the undergrowth
    G7/D
Overburdеning before
        A#/D
What is left is a hamlet
        C
And the wails of yore

Chorus:
Dm                 G7/D
Found in forgotten fields of flaxen
A#/D              C
I was the leveret in hiding
Dm                 G7/D
Rowdy and rigorous they reave and rally
A#/D                    C
There, where the houses once stood

Verse 2:
Dm*  Dm*  Dm*
Bam, bam, bam
G7/D
Down the door and here I am
A#/D
Beyond the cranny
                        C
"Come hither," says the feathered lady
Dm                     G7/D
"Fare thee well to the hound that held your home"
A#/D                C
Foreboding, farther off we'll go

Chorus:
Dm                 G7/D
Found in forgotten fields of flaxen
A#/D              C
I was the leveret in hiding (You were the leveret in hiding)
Dm                 G7/D
Rowdy and rigorous they reave and rally
A#/D                    C
There, where the houses once stood

Post-Chorus:
Dm           G7/D
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
A#/D          C
Ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Dm           G7/D
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
A#/D          C
Ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Bridge:
                 Dm
Her father was a doll maker
G7/D                 A#/D        C
He taught her how to weave one's movement
    Dm             G7/D
The marionette who took the thread
         A#/D           C
When the baron lost his head
N.C.
Oh!
  Dm         G7/D    A#/D                 C
A spider, a spinner, believe her, she's a mother
  Dm                 G7/D     A#/D
A woe of many morns, amidst a storm
A#/D           C                 ^
She receives a knock on the door
  Dm                  G7/D
A sight of silver and locks of gold
A#/D               C
Kid among beast of metal and malice
Dm             G7/D
I was real and she was alone
A#/D                C
Bird among bears of bark and leaves
Dm           G7/D
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
A#/D          C
Ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Dm           G7/D
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
A#/D          C
Ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

You were the leveret
C
You are the lover
      Dm
Where the yarrow grows
          G7/D                     A#/D
I will be awakened, no longer I am puppeted
                 C
String from your instrument
                Dm                          G7/D
Rather from her fingers, dearest though she was
                 A#/D
She never saw me silence, silence
                 C
I won't go far I promise
               Dm                        G7/D
Candles were a start now here I am at my brightest
                A#/D
Win or wound me with a kiss
                  C
Find me where the Lark is
                  Dm
Find me where the yarrow grows
          G7/D                     A#/D
I will be awakened, no longer I am puppeted
                 C
String from your instrument
                Dm                          G7/D
Rather from her fingers, dearest though she was
                       A#/D
She never saw me at my brightest
                  C
However when that happens
C
Pray to never

From the house
