*The Crane Wife 1*

INTRO

G

VERSE 1

It was a cold night
Em
And the snow lay around
I pulled my coat tight
C
Against the falling down
And the sun was all
G Em
And the sun was all down
And the sun was all
C G
And the sun was all down

VERSE 2

I am a poor man
Em
I haven't wealth nor fame
I have my two hands
C
And a house to my name
And the winter's so
G Em
And the winter's so long
And the winter's so
C D
And the winter's so long

CHORUS

And all the stars were crashing 'round
G
As I laid eyes on what I'd found

VERSE 3

It was a white crane
Em
It was a helpless thing
Upon a red stain
C
With an arrow its wing
And it called and cried
G Em
And it called and cried so
And it called and cried
C D
And it called and cried so

CHORUS

And all the stars were crashing 'round
G
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
Em C
My crane wife, my crane wife
G
My crane wife, my crane wife

VERSE 4

Now I helped her
Em
And I dressed her wounds
And how I held her
C
Beneath the rising moon
And she stood to fly
G Em
And she stood to fly away
And she stood to fly
C D
She stood to fly away

CHORUS

And all the stars were crashing 'round
G
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
Em C
My crane wife, my crane wife
G
My crane wife, my crane wife

G Em C G

INTRO

VERSE 1

C G D
My crane wife arrived at my door in the moonlight
C G D
All star-bright and tongue tied I took her in

VERSE 2

D C G D
We were married and bells rang sweet for our wedding
C G D
And our bedding was ready when we fell in

CHORUS

Em A Em
Sound the keening bell and see it's painted red
A G
Soft as fontanel, the feathers in the thread
A C G
When all I ever meant to do was to keep you
D G D C D
My crane wife, my crane wife, my crane wife

VERSE 3

C G D
We were poorly, our fortunes fading hourly
C G D
And how she vowed me she could bring it back

VERSE 4

D C G D
But I was greedy I was vain and I forced her to weaving
C G D
On cold loom in closed room with down wove

CHORUS

Em A Em
Sound the keening bell and see it's painted red
A G
Soft as fontanel, the feathers in the thread
A C G
When all I ever meant to do was to keep you
D G D C D
My crane wife, my crane wife, my crane wife

OUTRO

Em F
There's a bend in the wind and it rakes at my heart
Em F
There is blood in the thread and it rakes at my heart

G C G C G C G C G C
Rakes at my heart, heart, heart, heart, heart

G C G C

G C G C G C G C
Heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart

D
My crane wife

And under the boughs unbound

All clothed in a snowy shroud

She had no heart so hardened

All under the boughs unbound

VERSE 2

D A G
Each feather it fell from skin
D A G
Till threadbare she grew thin

Each feather it fell from skin

And I will hang my head hang my head low

And I will hang my head hang my head low

All out beyond horizons oh

A gray sky a bitter stain
