[VERSE 1]

 G                     D
Down in the Valley of Hollow Logs
                       A
Two lovers lay in the weeds
 G                         D
Safe in the net of their sweaty arms
               A            D   
Safe from the wind in the trees

[VERSE 2]

    G                               D
My love, said the boy, you're the clear blue sky
                           A
You're the air I gulp to breathe
   G                  D
I feel you rushing through my veins
                         A          D
Like the wind rushing through the trees

[VERSE 3]

    G                              D
My love, said the girl, you're my secret pearl
                               A
You're a string of tiny glass beads
          G              D
You're a burning star I keep in a jar
               A            D
Safe from the wind in the trees

[G  O]

[VERSE 4]

 G                     D
Down in the Valley of Hollow Logs
                            A
Two lovers lay back in the weeds
 G                        D
Listening to the howl of hunting dogs
                        A          D
And the wind howling through the trees

[VERSE 5]

     G                   D
Then insects ran for the underbrush
                                      A
As the wind filled the air with dead leaves
    G                    D
And every stone turned slowly to dust
                    A          D
As the wind tore through the trees

[G  O]

   G             D                     A        G              D                 A   D

[VERSE 6]

         G                     D
So the young girl pierced her lily-white breast
                            A
Her blood poured over dark weeds
   G                     D
A silver dagger through her burning heart
             A            D
Cold as the wind in the trees

[VERSE 7]

          G                   D
Then the boy picked up that bloody knife
                           A
And stove it through his chest
     G                     D
Farewell, farewell to the wind and the trees
                   A          D
I'll die with the one I love best
