[Verse 1]
WFhen winter came this year she found me well prepared for her
FThe flame well fed with pine, shuttered windows oakwood doors
BbFrom the low dales come the fiddler,
gave his tunes their fliCght
FWhen winter came this year, she found me well prepared for her
FThe flame well fed with pine, shuttered windows oakwood doCors
BbFrom the low dales come the fiddler,
gave his tunes their fliCght
[Verse 2]
FDon't know her name
or the dBbance that beFcame her so wCell
From toFpmost lBbimb of nigFht's dark trCee
ToniFght my laBbntern liFght floats fCree
DmThe ladies danced so well, the ladies danced so light
FBut it was not mortal step
drew me from my guests to meet the nCight
FSnow lies deep with frieGnds unseen
FI will light my eyes to GVenus grCeen
GHolding my lFife with a hCope
When the midnight skies rBbise,
She flies, she fFlies, She flies, she flies,
[Chorus]
CFala she flies, she flies,
CFala she flies, she flies,
Fala lala la lala Fla
CFala she flies, she flies,
CFala she flies, she flies,
Fala lala la lala Fla (repeat to fade)

[Verse 1]

When winter came this year she found me well prepared for her

The flame well fed with pine, shuttered windows oakwood doors

From the low dales come the fiddler,

gave his tunes their flight

When winter came this year, she found me well prepared for her

F C

The flame well fed with pine, shuttered windows oakwood doors

From the low dales come the fiddler,

gave his tunes their flight

[Verse 2]

Don't know her name

Bb F C

or the dance that became her so well

F Bb F C

From topmost limb of night's dark tree

F Bb F C

Tonight my lantern light floats free

The ladies danced so well, the ladies danced so light

But it was not mortal step

drew me from my guests to meet the night

F G

Snow lies deep with friends unseen

F G C

I will light my eyes to Venus green

G F C

Holding my life with a hope

When the midnight skies rise,

She flies, she flies, She flies, she flies,

[Chorus]

Fala she flies, she flies,

Fala lala la lala la

Fala she flies, she flies,

Fala lala la lala la (repeat to fade)
