Chorus 1
(A minor) such a breathless night as this
Up (A minor/G) on my brow the lightest kiss
I (F minoraj7#11) walked alone (F7b5) (Esus4)

My (A minor/G) lady soon will stir this way
(F minoraj7#11) In sorrow known (F7b5) (Esus4)

The (A minor) white queen (G major) walks and
The night (C major) (G major) grows (A minor) pale
(D major) Stars of (A minor) lovingness (D major) in her hair (A major)
Verse 2
(G major) Need (D major) ing, un (E minor) heard

Chorus 2
(A minor) did thee fare, what have thee seen
The (A minor/G) mother of the willow green
I (F minoraj7#11) call her name (F7b5) (Esus4)
And (A minor) 'neath her window have I stayed
I (A minor/G) loved the footsteps that she made
And (F minoraj7#11) when she came (F7b5) (Esus4)
Bridge 2
(A major) White queen (D minor/A) how (A7) my (D minor) heart did (F7) ache
And (B flat major) dry (F/A) my (G minor) lips (F/G) no (Esus4) word would (E major) make
Solo 1
(A minor) So still I wait (A minor/G)
