Whitehaven
From the album Singing Bones
[INTRO]
C G F C
[VERSE 1]
C G F C
What a hideous forest surrounded Whitehaven
Em Am F G
Twisted black mountains, wolves howled in madness
C G F C
Never I ventured beyond the stone tower
Em Am F G C
As dusk spread her black wings at the edge of the dark wild wood
[VERSE 2]
C G F C
But one windy evening, gathering timbers
Em Am F G
Under white elm trees in shadows, I saw her
C G F C
The darkest of beauties with her basket of cherries
Em Am F G C C/B
The wind at her black skirt like the hands of the wild dark wood
[INTERLUDE]

[VERSE 3]
C G F C
She turned in her terror, a madness possessed us
Em Am F G
In shadow she clawed me, we screamed in the brambles
C G F C
Hunters came running with torches and axes
Em Am F G C
Treetop to treetop, flames tore through the dark wild wood
[VERSE 4]
C G F C
Back down they dragged us past the stone towers
Em Am F G
The church bells were ringing, the sky screamed in flashes
C G F C
But we stood in the churchyard laughing like jackals
Em Am F G Am
As the stone towers tumbled and bowed to the wild dark wood
