guitar chords lyrics

The Deep Dark Woods

[intro] C F C F C F C F

[violin solo] C G C F, C F C G, C G C F, C F G C

C G C F
as i roved out one summer night
C F C G
to view the flowers and breathe the air
C G C F
'twas there i spied a tender maiden

C F G C
talkin' to her daughter so dear

F C G C
sayin' daughter oh daughter married you'll be
F C G
no longer to live the sweet single life
C G C F
mother oh mother i'd rather be
C F G C
some young sailor's wife

C G C F
well sailor boy likes to wander round
C F C G
he will be your downfall
C G C F
you're better to wed a farmer boy
C F G C
for to see he never will go

F C G C
her mother came back from the fields
F C G
only to find her daughter so dear
C G C F
hanging from her blanket of blue
C F G C
in the lonely hour of night

[organ solo] C G C F, C F C G, C G C F, C F G C

C G C F
as i roved out one summer night
C F C G
to view the flowers and breathe the air
C G C F
'twas there i spied a tender maiden
C F G C
talkin' to her daughter so dear
