CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
G   C   G   C
[Verse 1]
They Gshot him dead at the nine stone rig, beFside the headless Gcross
And they left him lying in his blood, uFpon the moor and the Gmoss
They buried him at midnight and the Fdew fell cold and Gstill
And the women in grey for god to pray, and the Fmist clung to the Ghill
[Verse 2]
Oh, gentle wind that's blowing south from Fwhere my love reGpairs
Convey a kiss from his dear mouth and Ftell me how he Gfairs
The Fword was carried back to me as if by god's comGmand
Your sweetheart was murdered yesterday by Fyour brother's jealous Ghand
[Verse 3]
No living man I'll love again since my Fdarling went through Gdeath's door
With one lock of his yellow hair, I'll Fchain my heart forGever more
Oh, Fmother dear, please make my bed and lay me down in Gsorrow
My love, he died for me last night, and I'll Fdie for him toGmorrow
[Instrumental]
G   C   G   C   G   C   G   C
[Bridge]
My love, he died for me last night, and I'll Fdie for him toGmorrow
[Verse 4]
They Gshot him dead at the nine stone rig, beFside the headless Gcross
And they left him lying in his blood, uFpon the moor and the Gmoss
They buried him at midnight and the Fdew fell cold and Gstill
And the women in grey for god to pray, and the Fmist clung to the Ghill
And the women in gray for god to pray, and the Fmist clung to the Ghill
