Linda Thompson - Nine Stone Rig
CAPO: 3rd fret
[Intro]
D C D C D
[Verse 1]
G D G C D
They shot him dead at the nine stone rig, beside the headless cross
G D G C D
And they left him lying in his blood, upon the moor and the moss
C D
They buried him at midnight when the dew fell cold and still
C D C D
And the women in grey forgot to pray when mist clung to the hill
[Verse 2]
G D C G D
Oh, gentle wind that's blowing south, from where my love repairs
G C D
Convey a kiss from his dear mouth and tell me how he fares
G D C G D
The word was carried back to me as if by god's command
C D C D
"Your sweetheart was murdered yesterday by your brother's jealous hand"
[Verse 3]
C D C D
No living man I'll love again since my darling went through death's door
C D
With one lock of his yellow hair, I'll chain my heart forever more
G D
Oh, mother dear, please make my bed and lay me down in sorrow
C D
My love, he died for me last night and I'll die for him tomorrow
[Verse 4]
G D G D
They shot him dead at the nine stone rig, beside the headless cross
G D
And left him lying in his blood, upon the moor and the moss
