CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G  F C    F C   Am G Dm Em F    C  F
[Verse 1]
There Gwere two sisters of FCounty CClare
Dm7Oh, the wind and Grain
Am7One was dark and the Cother was fair
Dm7Oh, the Cdreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse 2]
And they both had the love of the Fmiller's Cson
Dm7Oh, the wind and Grain
But Am7he was fond of the Cfairer one
Dm7Oh, the Cdreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse 3]
So she pushed her into the Friver to Cdrown
Dm7Oh, the wind and Grain
And Am7watched her as she Cfloated out
BbOh, the dreadful wind and Grain
[Interlude]
C   G   C Dm  F
[Verse 4]
She Gfloated 'til she came to the Fmiller's Cpond
Dm7Oh, the wind and Grain
Am7Dead on the water like a Cgolden swan
Dm7Oh, the Cdreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse 5]
And she came to rest on the FriverCside
Dm7Oh, the wind and Grain
And her Am7bones were washed by the Crolling tide
Dm7Oh, the Cdreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse 6]
And along the road came a Ffiddler Cfair
Dm7Oh, the wind and Grain
And Am7found her bones Cjust lying there
Crying, Bboh, the dreadful wind and Grain
[Interlude]
C   G   C Dm  F
[Verse 7]
So he Gmade a fiddle peg of her Flong finger Cbone
Dm7Oh, the wind and Grain
He Am7made a fiddle peg of her Clong finger bone
Crying, Dm7oh, the Cdreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse 8]
And he strung his fiddle bow with her Flong yellow Chair
Dm7Oh, the wind and Grain
He sAm7trung his fiddle bow with her Clong yellow hair
Crying, Dm7oh, the Cdreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse 9]
And he made a little fiddle of her Flittle breast Cbone
Dm7Oh, the wind and Grain
He Am7made a little fiddle of her Clittle breast bone
Crying, Dm7oh, the Cdreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse 10]
But the only tune that the Ffiddle would Cplay
Was 'Dm7Oh the Wind and RGain'
The Am7only tune that the Cfiddle would play
Was 'Dm7Oh, the CDreadful FWind and GRain'
