Am   Fх2
[Verse 1]
AmRhiannon rings like a bell through the night,
and Fwouldn't you love to love her?
AmTakes to the sky like a bird in flight,
and Fwho will be her lover?
CAll your life you've never seen a Fwoman;
taken by the wind
CWould you stay if she promised you heaven;
Fwill you ever win?
[Verse 2]
AmShe is like a cat in the dark,
and Fthen she is the darkness
AmShe rules her life like a fine skylark,
Fwhen the sky is starless
CAll your life you've never seen a Fwoman;
taken by the wind
CWould you stay if she promised you heaven;
Fwill you ever win?
FWill you ever win?

The story behind the song

"Rhiannon" is a captivating song penned by Stevie Nicks, first recorded by Fleetwood Mac for their self-titled 1975 album. Nicks was inspired to write the song after reading the novel Triad by Mary Bartlet Leader. Live performances of "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac, especially between 1975 and 1982, were known for their intense and theatrical quality. Nicks often introduced the song as being about "an old Welsh witch," and her impassioned vocals during these performances were so powerful that they were described by Mick Fleetwood as "like an exorcism."
