A great Lord came walking through the forest one morning with a weapon in his hand
Dmaj7GAsus4A
Rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing, killing was his plan
BmF#m
When a white bird flew by, she fell from the sky
GDEmAsus4A
Nothing was found, only blood on the ground
D
She was gone
[Verse 2]
DDmaj7GD
Cursing his fortune, he turned to the forest to kill once again
Dmaj7GAsus4A
Standing before him was a lovely young woman with her hand hung in pain
BmF#m
When he saw her, his eyes were filled with desire
GDEmAsus4A
He said "I must have her, she must be mine.
D
She will be mine."
[Verse 2]
DDmaj7GD
He offered her silver, he offered her gold but she threw it on the ground
Dmaj7GAsus4A
He fell to his knees and he begged her, "Oh please come with me, what you wish will be found"
BmF#m
She said, "Sire, I'll go if you'll put up your bow
GDEmAsus4A
And spare these creatures, leave them in peace
F#sus4F#
You have no need"
EmAD
But her words were lost in the wind
GDA
His eyes were fixed on a queen
BmF#mEmAD
And all he saw was a woman but all she was, was a dream
GAF#BmGDAsus4A
Oh Oh Ah Ah DaDaDa DaDaDa Da
BmF#mEmAD
All he saw was a woman and all she was, was a dream
[Verse 3]
DDmaj7GD
He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her, to his castle he did ride
Dmaj7GAsus4A
In the wood was a bower where stood an old tower and he threw her deep inside
BmF#m
And the birds left the sky and a terrible cry
GDEmAsus4A
Brought thunder and lightning, rain falling down
D
Tears on the ground
[Verse 4]
DDmaj7GD
All through the days on her face he would gaze for she was lovely as the spring
Dmaj7GAsus4A
No words would she speak but "Leave them in peace" and some sad lament she would sing
BmF#mGDEmAsus4A
One day by the door, through the window he saw a single white feather lying on the floor
D
She was there no more
[Verse 5]
DDmaj7GD
Now that great Lord is dying, his cold heart is crying for the love of the girl
Dmaj7GAsus4A
For many an hour he has wept on the Tower, for she meant more than the world
BmF#mGDEmAsus4A
One day in the sky a white bird flew by, he lifted his hands, he cried out in pain
F#sus4F#
Come back again
EmAD
But his words were lost in the wind
GDA
His castle was built upon sand
BmF#mEmAD
All he has is a memory and all he yearns is her hand
GAF#BmGDAsus4A
Oh Oh Ah Ah DaDaDa DaDaDa Da
BmF#mEmAD
All he has is a memory and all he yearns is her hand.
