[Verse One]
GThere were two sisters of Ccounty Clair
FOh, the Cwind and Grain
GOne was dark and the Cother was fair
DmOh, the C/Edreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse Two]
GAnd they both had a love of the Cmiller's son
FOh, the Cwind and Grain
GBut he was fond of the Cfairer one
DmOh, the C/Edreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse Three]
GSo she pushed her into the Criver to drown
FOh, the Cwind and Grain
GAnd watched her as she Cfloated down
DmOh, the C/Edreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse Four]
GAnd she floated till she came to the Cmillers pond
FOh, the Cwind and the Grain
GDead on the water like a Cgolden swan
DmOh, the C/Edreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse Five]
GAs she came to rest on the Criverside
FOh, the Cwind and the Grain
GAnd her bones were washed by the Crolling tide
DmOh, the C/Edreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse Six]
GAnd along the road came a Cfiddler fair
FOh, the Cwind and the Grain
GAnd found her bones just a Clying there, cried
DmOh, the C/Edreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse Seven]
GSo he made a fiddle peg of her Clong finger bone
FOh, the Cwind and the Grain
GHe a made a fiddle peg of her Clong finger bone, crying
DmOh, the C/Edreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse Eight]
GAnd he strung his fiddle bow with her Clong yeller hair
FOh, the Cwind and the Grain
GHe strung his fiddle bow with her Clong yeller hair, cried
DmOh, the C/Edreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse Nine]
GAnd he made a fiddle fiddle of Cher breast bone
FOh, the Cwind and the Grain
GHe made a fiddle fiddle of Cher breast bone, cried
DmOh, the C/Edreadful Fwind and Grain
[Verse Ten]
GBut the only tune that the Cfiddle could play was
FOh, the Cwind and the Grain
GThe only tune that the Cfiddle would play was
DmOh, the C/Edreadful Fwind and Grain
