Am Am Dm Dm Am Am C C Dm Dm Em Em

Dm Dm Am Am

[Verse]

Am Am
A A young man walked through the forest
G G Am Am
With his quiver and hunting bow
Dm Dm
He heard a young girl singing
Am Am Em Em Am Am
And followed the sound below
Dm Dm
There he found the maiden
Am Am Em Em Am Am
Who lives in the willow

[Verse]

Am Am
He called to her as she listened

From a ring of toadstools red
Dm Dm
"Come with me, my maiden
Am Am Em Em Am Am
Come from thy willow bed"
Dm Dm
She looked at him serenely
Am Am G G Am Am
And only shook her head

[Chorus]

Em Em Am Am
"See me now

A A ray of light in the moondance
Em Em Am Am
See me now
Em Em Am Am
I cannot leave this place
Em Em Am Am
Hear me now

A A strain of song in the forest
F F C C
Don't ask me
Dm Dm Em Em
To follow where you lead"

[Verse]

Am Am
A A young man walked through the forest

With a flower and coat of green
Dm Dm
His love had hair like fire
Am Am G G Am Am
Her eyes an emerald sheen
Dm Dm
She wrapped herself in beauty
Am Am G G Am Am
So young and so serene

[Verse]

Am Am
He stood there under the willow

And he gave her the yellow bloom
Dm Dm
"Girl, my heart you've captured
Am Am Em Em Am Am
Oh, I would be your groom"
Dm Dm
She said she'd wed him never
Am Am G G Am Am
Not near, nor far, nor soon

[Chorus]

Em Em Am Am
"See me now

A A ray of light in the moondance
Em Em Am Am
See me now
Em Em Am Am
I cannot leave this place
Em Em Am Am
Hear me now

A A strain of song in the forest
F F C C
Don't ask me
Em Em C C Em Em Am Am
To follow where you lead"
-follow where you lead-
Dm Dm
Hey-ey Hey-ey Hey-ey Hey-ey

[Verse]

Am Am
A A young man walked through the forest
G G Am Am
With an axe sharp as a knife
Dm Dm
"I'll take the green-eyed fairy
Am Am G G Am Am
And she shall be my wife
Dm Dm
With her I'll raise my children
Am Am G G Am Am
With her I'll live my life"

[Verse]

Am Am
The maiden wept when she heard him
G G Am Am
When he said he'd set her free
Dm Dm
He took his axe and used it
Am Am G G Am Am
To bring down her ancient tree
Dm Dm
"Now your willow's fallen
Am Am G G Am Am
Now you belong to me"

[Chorus]

G G F F G G
"See me now
F F G G Dm Dm
A A ray of light in the moondance
Am Am G G F F G G
See me now
F F G G Dm Dm
I cannot leave this place
Am Am Em Em Am Am
Hear me now
G G Am Am
A A strain of song in the forest
C C
Don't ask me
Dm Dm Em Em Abm Abm Am Am Abm Abm Am Am
To follow where you lead"

[Verse]

Am Am
She followed him out the forest
Dm Dm Am Am
And collapsed upon the earth

Her feet had walked but a distance
G G Am Am
From the green land of her birth

[Verse]

Am Am
She faded into a flower
Dm Dm Am Am
That would bloom for one bright eve

He could not take from the forest
G G Am Am
What was never meant to leave
