Hawthorn Tree taby ukulele według Heather Dale

[Am][G][Am][G]
[Am] Arthur's [G] hall is mantled [C] in the carded [F] fleece of winter [C]
Guinevere [G] sits [Em] veiled in her own [F] tho[G]ughts [Am]
Arthur [G] laughs, but be[C]neath the crown his [Em] hair is turning [F] gre[C]y
And [Am] by the fire, [G] Merlin spends his [F] days

[Am] The portal [G] opens and a [C] maid as fair as [F] apple blossoms [C]
Enters [G] in as [Em] all rise to their [F] fe[G]et [Am]
Many [G] knights stand in [C] vain attempts to [Em] win her first at[F]tentio[C]n
And [Am] by the fire, [G] Merlin sits and [C] waits

Hawthorn [G] tree
Your [C] body burns a[G]way the winter's [F] cold
Stand by [C] me
And [F] shade me [G] from the [Am] sun
My eyes are [F] old, [G] but still can [Am] see [G][Am][G]

[Am] Threading [G] through as though they [C] were the golden [F] fields of summer [C]
Maiden and [G] sage [Em] meet within the [F] li[G]ght [Am]
'I have [G] come for your [C] power, and my [Em] name is Vivi[F]ann[C]e.'
And [Am] by the fire, [G] Merlin knows his [F] fate

[Am] From that [G] day, no moment [C] passed when they were [F] not together [C]
She grew in [G] strength, as [Em] waning his grew [F] di[G]m [Am]
Arthur's [G] court wondered [C] if love or en[Em]chantment held them [F] bou[C]nd
The [Am] strange desire of [G] Merlin and the [C] maid

Hawthorn [G] tree
Your [C] body burns a[G]way the winter's [F] cold
Stand by [C] me
And [F] shade me [G] from the [Am] sun
My eyes are [F] old, [G] but still can [Am] see [G][Am][G]

[Am] Then they [G] left, as autumn's [C] leaves upon the [F] moving water [C]
Camelot [G] failed to [Em] solve the myste[F]r[G]y [Am]
Seasons [G] passed, and a [C] woodsman came from [Em] distant Lyo[F]nes[C]se
Who [Am] knew the fate of [G] Merlin and the [F] maid

[Am] He had [G] seen a maiden [C] fairer still than [F] apple blossoms [C]
And an elderly [G] man [Em] walking hand in [F] ha[G]nd [Am]
They emb[G]raced, and when they [C] parted there was [Em] only Vivi[F]an[C]ne
And [F] one more tree was [C] standing in the [F] gla[G]de [C]

Hawthorn [G] tree
Your [C] body burns a[G]way the winter's [F] cold
Stand by [C] me
And [F] shade me [G] from the [Am] sun
My eyes are [F] old, [G] but still can [Am] see
My eyes are old, [G] but still can [Am] see
My eyes are old, [G] but still can [F] see
