And old legend tells

A spirit of the devil dwells
D A
In a lake beyond the trees
D Fm E
And I found my ruin in this place
[Chorus]
A
Green eyes
E
Like a beam of the sun
G
That, swift, hides while it runs
D
Within the white foam
A
Green eyes

Your glance burned my chest

The desire of the quest
D
Of some eyes like those

When I saw her eyes in water

Like a beam of the sun

That, swift, hides while it runs

Your glance burned my chest

My course was her call

To her bed of emeralds

And then closed over my body

Like a beam of the sun

That, swift, hides while it runs

Your glance burned my chest

The desire of the quest
