Verse 1
Cm
Bb
In the cattails a maid did dwell
She sang sweet songs but
Cm
she loved as well
Bb
She was a bit over five feet tall,
Gm
and she loved no man,
Cm
for she loved them all.
Bb
In her bed many hours we lay
While the north winds blow
Cm
and the sparrows play
Bb
And in my hand she placed a key
Gm
Cm
Saying, keep this, my love, follow me
Bb
So I swore, for she knew me well
Cm
I swore this love I'd never tell
Bb
She said, me, her soul she'd sell
Gm
Cm
Even if she must walk the fires of hell
Bb
Her hair, it rushed and flowed so long
Cm
On a silken pillow, it did be_ long
Bb
Her eyes were yellow like the morning sun
Cm
Bb
And they were singing each one a song
Gm
Cm
And her skin was dark like a rusted dawn
Bb
Well, in her hair would flow my tears
Cm
Of my lonely days and my bitter years
Bb
And on her breast, my soul would sail
Gm
And her mouth was as sweet,
Cm
sweet as hail
Bb
She was to me a golden cup
Cm
That poured me life for me to sup
Bb
And in her heart was a looking glass
Gm
Cm
And a sturdy ship with a highest mas_ t
Bb
For many days I did remain,
until one day
Cm
I forgot her name,
Bb
then I knew I'd have to go
Gm
from where the sparrows played
Cm
and the north winds blew
Bb
but then one day by the cattail pond
my love was dying
Cm
and then she was gone
G
Cm
Bb
I buried her where the green grass grows
Gm
Cm
And there she slept till the winter snow
Bb
So I sent my sorrow to the trees
Cm
They said go send to the breeze
But they knew this love
Bb
no man could believe
Gm
So I bur_ ied my sorrow,
Cm
my heart and my key.
Cm
