D 
A 
D 
that blow across the wild moor
A 
D 
Oh why did I leave this fair spot
E 
where once I was so happy and free
A 
and I'm now doomed to roam
D 
A 
no friends or no home
D 
G 
no one to take pity on me
D 
A 
but her father was deaf to her cry
D 
not a sound of her voice reached his ear
A 
D 
The watchdogs they howled,
G 
D 
the village bells tolled,
A 
And the winds blew across
D 
Bb 
the wild moor.

Eb 
Oh, how the old man must have felt
F 
Bb 
When he came to the door the next morn
Eb 
Bb 
And found Mary dead,
Eb 
Ab 
but the child still alive
Eb 
Bb 
Eb 
Closely grasped in its dead mother's arms
Bb 
Eb 
In anguish he tore his gray hair
And the tears down his
F 
Bb 
face they did pour
Eb 
Bb 
When he saw how that night
Eb 
Ab 
she had perished and died
Eb 
From the wind that blew
Bb 
Eb 
across the wild moon
Bb 
Eb 
In grief the old man pined away
F 
Bb 
And the child to its mother went soon
Eb 
Bb 
And no one, say,
Eb 
Ab 
has lived there to this day
Eb 
Bb 
Eb 
And the cottage to ruin has gone
But the villagers,
Bb 
Eb 
they still point out the spot
F 
Where the willows grow
Bb 
over the door.
Eb 
Bb 
Saying there, Mary died,
Eb 
Ab 
she was once the gay village bride,
Eb 
Bb 
From the winds, the cold winds
Eb 
that blew across the mile more. you
