[Intro]
Am [Verse]
Am G I went out to the hazelwood C G Dm Because a fire was in my head C And I cut and
G Am
peeled a hazel wand G Am And hooked a berry on a thread [Verse]
Am And when white moths
G
Were on the wing C And moth-like stars were
Dm
Flickering out C Am I dropped the berry in a stream G Am And caught a little silver trout [Verse]
Am G When I had laid it on the floor C G Dm I went to blow the fire aflame C Am But something rustled on the floor G Am And someone called me by my name [Verse]
Am G It had become a glimmering girl
C G Dm With apple blossom in her hair
C Am Who called me by my name and ran
G And faded through the
Am
Brightening air [Verse]
Am G Though I am old with wandering
C G Through hollow lands and
Dm
Hilly lands
C G I will find out where
Am
she has gone G And kiss her lips and
Am
take her hands [Verse]
Am And walk among long
G
dappled grass C G And pluck 'til time
Dm
and times are done C G Am The silver apples of the moon G Am The golden apples of the sun [Outro]
Am Go, go away Am Out the way,
get out of the way,
out of the way
