G G              G G
It was a cold night
G G G G
And the snow lay low
Em Em Em Em
I pulled my coat tight
Em Em Em Em
Against the falling down
C C C C
And the sun was all
C C C C
And the sun was all down
C C C C
And the sun was all
C C C C G G
And the sun was all down

G G G G
I am a poor man
G G G G Em Em
I haven't wealth nor fame
Em Em Em Em
I have my two hands
Em Em Em Em C C
And a house to my name
C C C C
And the winter's so
C C C C
And the winter's so long
C C C C
And the winter's so
C C C C D D
And the winter's so long

D D D D D D D D
And all the stars were crashing 'round
D D D D D D D D
As I laid eyes on what I'd found


It was a white crane
It was a helpless thing
Upon a red stain
With an arrow its wing
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife, my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wife

Now I helped her
And I dressed her wounds
And how I held her
Beneath the rising moon
And she stood to fly
And she stood to fly away
And she stood to fly
She stood to fly away

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife, my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wife

All the basic chords are right, but it would be nice to have a proper tab so all the little nuances are pat down as well.

It's almsot right...
First, the chords change at the end of the previous line, like :
[Em] against the falling [C] down, etc.
Then, there misses a row [G] [Em] [C] at the "and the sun..."
Didn't check until the end, but for the beginning, that's what I found.

These are all the right chords but they aren't placed correctly.
