Loreena McKennitt ~ Stolen Child (Chords)
(Standard Tuning)
Intro: Em C Em C
Em Am G/B C
Where dips the rocky highland Of Sleuth Wood in the lake
Em Am G/B C
There lies a leafy island where flapping herons wake
G D Am Em
The drowsy water-rats There we've hid our faery vats
Em D Em D C D
Full of berries And of reddest stolen cherries
[Chorus:]
G D Am Em
Come away, O human child to the waters and the wild
Em D G D/F# Em
With a faery, hand in hand for the world's more full of weeping
D Am G/B C
Than you/he can understand.
Em Am G/B C
Where the wave of moonlight glosses the dim grey sands with light
Em Am G/B C
By far off furthest rosses we foot it all the night
G D Am Em
Weaving olden dances mingling hands and mingling glances
Em Am Am G/B Em
Till the moon has taken flight To and fro we leap
Em D G D/F# Em
And chase the frothy bubbles whilst the world is full of troubles
D Am G/B C
And is anxious in its sleep.
[Chorus] - [Guitar Solo]
Where the wandering water gushes from the hills above Glen-Car
In pools among the rushes that scarce could bathe a star
We seek for slumbering trout and whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears over the young streams
[Chorus]
Em Am G/B C
Away with us he's going the solemn-eyed
Em Am G/B C
He'll hear no more the lowing of the calves on the warm hillside
G D Am Em
Or the kettle on the hob sing peace into his breast
Em Am Am G/B Em
Or see the brown mice bob round and round the oatmeal chest.
[Chorus]
G D Am Em
For he comes, the human child to the waters and the wild
Em D G D/F# Em
With a faery hand in hand for the world's more full of weeping
D Am G/B C
Than you can understand.
