[Verse 1]
DI was singing like a Gmaj7bird
DFrom my porch just to Gmaj7hear
DMy own voice Gmaj7echo in the Dcanyon
When Gshe appeared G#11before me
GProtected from the G#11cold
GRinging with the Aecho in her DheartDsus4  
DShe walked up to the Gmaj7porch
And I Dsang a good bit Gmaj7further
DUntil we both Gmaj7sat there in Dsilence
I Gasked her to my G#11living room
A Gplace where we can G#11warm our bones
She Gsaid, but I am Awarmed by the DsingingDsus4  
And DI can hear my Gmaj7husbandman
DReturning from his Gmaj7labor
And DI have no Gmaj7food on the Dtable
As Gquick as she came G#11earlier
GShe went back to the G#11forest
GWith a trail of Aroses behind DherDsus4  
[Interlude]
  D    Gmaj7x3

[Verse 2]
It Dsnowed for many Gmaj7weeks
DUntil I couldn't Gmaj7see the forest
And the Dblush had Gmaj7faded from the Droses
And Gwhile it dropped I G#11worked a lot
To Ggather wood and G#11keep it hot
And Gclear the Aporch off for DsingingDsus4  
It was Dbrighter than the other Gmaj7nights
The Dsnow was filled with Gmaj7moonlight
There Dwas not a sound Gmaj7in the Dcanyon
So GI sang softly G#11my old song
GBuilding for a G#11time so long
GUntil my echo Atraveled through the DforestDsus4  
And Dthere she was standing Gmaj7there
The Dmoonlight in her auburn Gmaj7hair
DCompletely Gmaj7protected from the Dcold
And Gall about her G#11in the snow
Ruby Gred and G#11black as coal
GRoses had Ablossomed all around DherDsus4

[Verse 1]

D Gmaj7

I was singing like a bird

D Gmaj7

From my porch just to hear

D Gmaj7 D

My own voice echo in the canyon

G G#11

When she appeared before me

G G#11

Protected from the cold

G A D Dsus4

Ringing with the echo in her heart

D Gmaj7

She walked up to the porch

D Gmaj7

And I sang a good bit further

D Gmaj7 D

Until we both sat there in silence

G G#11

I asked her to my living room

G G#11

A place where we can warm our bones

G A D Dsus4

She said, but I am warmed by the singing

D Gmaj7

And I can hear my husbandman

D Gmaj7

Returning from his labor

D Gmaj7 D

And I have no food on the table

G G#11

As quick as she came earlier

G G#11

She went back to the forest

G A D Dsus4

With a trail of roses behind her

[Interlude]

D Gmaj7

[Verse 2]

D Gmaj7

It snowed for many weeks

D Gmaj7

Until I couldn't see the forest

D Gmaj7 D

And the blush had faded from the roses

G G#11

And while it dropped I worked a lot

G G#11

To gather wood and keep it hot

G A D Dsus4

And clear the porch off for singing

D Gmaj7

It was brighter than the other nights

D Gmaj7

The snow was filled with moonlight

D Gmaj7 D

There was not a sound in the canyon

G G#11

So I sang softly my old song

G G#11

Building for a time so long

G A D Dsus4

Until my echo traveled through the forest

D Gmaj7

And there she was standing there

D Gmaj7

The moonlight in her auburn hair

D Gmaj7 D

Completely protected from the cold

G G#11

And all about her in the snow

G G#11

Ruby red and black as coal

G A D Dsus4

Roses had blossomed all around her

[Outro]

D Gmaj7
