i was trying to find a tab or chord progression for this song, but couldn't find one.
looked on youtube and couldn't really find much there either, but i did manage to pick
out the basic chords after listening to the full version a few times.  capo on the 3rd
fret and it'll be in the same key as the recording from the soundtrack.  again, just the
basic chords here, but pick and pluck with hammer ons and offs to get the right
melody.  pretty easy tune to figure out.
(standard tuning)
(capo 3rd fret)
intro with an arpeggio on the C to lead into the first Am (because, i think, the second
"i wish" is actually the first beat).  it's an easy song to get the rhythm and feel for once
you figure out the timing for transition.  it's a nice song, obviously not musically complex.
tweaked a few lyrics from what i found.  please comment.

But still I Amhope (but still I hope) the time will Ccome
When you and GI shall be as Cone
I wish, I Amwish my love had Cdied
And sent her Gsoul to wander Cfree
Then we might Ammeet (then we might meet) where ravens Cfly
Let our poor Gbodies rest in Cpeace
The owl, the Amowl is a lonely Cbird
It chills my Amheart with dread and Cterror
That someone's Amblood there on his Cwing
That someone's Gblood there on his Cfeather

I wish, I wish my baby was born

And sitting on its papa's knee

Am C

And me poor girl (and me poor girl) were dead and gone

G C

And the green grass growin' o'er my feet

Am C

I ain't ahead, nor never will be

G C

'Til a sweet apple grows on a sour apple tree

Am C

But still I hope (but still I hope) the time will come

G C

When you and I shall be as one

Am C

I wish, I wish my love had died

G C

And sent her soul to wander free

Am C

Then we might meet (then we might meet) where ravens fly

G C

Let our poor bodies rest in peace

Am C

The owl, the owl is a lonely bird

Am C

It chills my heart with dread and terror

Am C

That someone's blood there on his wing

G C

That someone's blood there on his feather
