Biografia:
Fairport Convention é considerada a primeira banda inglesa de electric folk. Formada em abril de 1967 por Simon Nicol, Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings e Shaun Frater, o Fairport rapidamente evoluiu do estilo de versões cover de músicas "west coast" estadunidenses para um estilo individual que mesclava rock com canções tradicionais britânicas.
Marcada por várias mudanças na formação em sua primeira década, o Fairport Convention desmembrou-se

[Chorus]
C G F G C
Red and Gold are royal colours
Am F G
Peasant colours are green and brown
C F C Am
Green is the corn in the brown earth when it's growing
F C G C
Red and gold when the harvest is cut down
[Verse]
Dm F G
Through Cropredy in Oxfordshire, the Cherwell takes its course
C F G
And the willows weep into its waters clear
C F G C
My name it is Will Tims, it's here that I was born
F G C
Raised in faith, my King and god to fear
[Verse]
Dm F G
In sixteen forty-four, the King in Oxford Town did dwell
C F G
Though we'd heard that Cromwell's army was nearby
C F G C
It did not occur to me that little Cropredy
F G C
Could be witness to the meeting of both sides
[Verse]
Dm F G
On June the 29th that year, I was about my work
C F G
Cutting hedges in a meadow by the stream
C F G C
My blade slipped, I cut my hand, my own dear blood did flow
F G C
Upon the brown earth and the corn still green
[Verse]
Dm F G
Now it did distress me so to watch my own blood flow
C F G
And quickly soak into the greedy ground
C F G C
In red and gold my colours swam and sweat broke on my brow
F G C
Faint, I knew that I must lay me down
[Chorus]
C G F G C
Red and Gold are royal colours
Am F G
Peasant colours are green and brown
C F C Am
Green is the corn in the brown earth when it's growing
F C G C
Red and gold when the harvest is cut down
[Verse]
Dm F G
At first I thought the thundering was just inside my head
C F G
So I raised myself above the hedge to see
C F G C
And I watched as in a dream, as the armies fought downstream
F G C
The Battle for the Bridge at Cropredy
[Verse]
Dm F G
Now the King's men fought in red and gold, though Cromwell's men were plainer
C F G
The blood they spilled was coloured just the same
C F G C
Through the hedgerow's fragile cover, I saw brother killing brother
F G C
And all of this was done in Jesus' name
[Chorus]
G F G C
Red and Gold are royal colours
Am F G
Peasant colours are green and brown
C F C Am
Green is the corn in the brown earth when it's growing
F C G C
Red and gold when the harvest is cut down
[Verse]
Dm F G
All that day and all the next, the battle it was raging
C F G
Though when darkness came, I slipped away
C F G C
But the crying of the dying kept me wakeful and just lying
F G C
In my bed until the dawning of the day
[Bridge]
G C
And the dreams I had were red and gold
F C G
And the little stream became a flood
C F C Am
From all my brothers killing one another
F C G C
Till waking, I realised, it was all my own dear blood
[Instrumental]
C F G C Am F G
C F C Am F C G C
[Verse]
Dm F G
Some were buried in the church and some just where they fell
C F G
With no markers to declare their place of rest
C F G C
But the poppies they do grow where they were never sown
F G C
And to my mind they do declare it best
[Verse]
Dm F G
And each year when the green corn once again turns into gold
C F G
And the poppies in the field again remind me
C F G C
Like the scar upon my hand and the blood spilled on this land
F G C
And the hungry earth so eager to confine me
[Chorus]
G F G C
For red and gold they are the colours
Am F G
One is blood and one is power
C F C Am
Though I may find my rest in Cropredy church
F C G C
In golden fields forever, will spring the poppy flower
[Verse]
Dm F G
By Cropredy the Cherwell is still bidden to keep flowing
C F G
And the willows by its side still gently weep
C F G C
But still in restless dreams by this most peaceful stream
F G C
The poppies wake me from my rightful sleep
[Bridge]
G C
And the dreams I have are red and gold
F C G
And the little stream becomes a flood
C F C Am
From all my brothers killing one another
F C G C
Till waking, I realise, it's all my own dear blood
