Strawbs - Witchwood
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
Am C Am C F Am C Am
[Verse 1]
C Am
I dropped down in the witchwood to see what I could find
C Am
The trees had taken time out to blow away my mind
F Am
All that I could hear there, was the sound of my own voice
C Am
But the music it was making was nothing of my choice
[Instrumental]
Am C Am C F Am C Am
[Verse 2]
C Am
The interwoven branches were laden deep with snow
C Am
A rainbow shone so softly, to show which way to go
F Am
I observed its many colours till my eyes were rimmed with frost
C Am
I tried hard to trace my footsteps, for I feared I might get lost
[Instrumental]
Am C Am C F Am C Am
[Verse 3]
C Am
The witchwood started singing with a strange unearthly sound
C Am
My fingers grew like branches, I stood rooted to the ground
F Am
And the spell is still unbroken, I am still her bidden slave
C Am
Till a casket from the witchwood, bears my body to the grave
[Outro]
