Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I must leave you for a season

Go out logging hardwood timber

Hardwood timber that grows so low

In the forest of Fennario

Tell me what you need to live, love

Do you ask that you might own?

Take my blue-eyed hound to guard you

I will make my way alone

I will not return in winter

If I be not back by fall

Seek me when the small sunflower

 Grows above the garden wall

Fare you well and I would not weep |

Bid you tend your prayers to keep |----Chorus

Hill by dale now must I go |

To the forest of Fennario |

(same chord progression as previous verses)

Nine-month blew with sleeted rain

And still he came not back again

Summoned she the hound to go

To seek him in Fennario

He came back the fated day

To find his lady gone away

Made haste to follow in her track

Where she could go but not turn back

At her side the blue-eyed hound did bay

While fast her breath did fade away

She cried out: Turn, my love, and go

I would not have you see me so

Chorus

(instrumental break - same progression as verse)

I shall not turn, I shall not yield

Oh, selfsame serpent sting my heel

That bleeds my ladys blood away

Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay

Angels sing their souls to sleep

Four winds grace their breath to keep

Up above yon garden wall

Stands the sunflower, straight and tall

Chorus

Hill by dale now must I go

To the forest of Fennario
