Back Of The Moon - Nine Stone Rig
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G F G
They shot him dead at the nine stone rig, beside the headless cross
F G
And they left him lying in his blood, upon the moor and the moss
F G
They buried him at midnight and the dew fell cold and still
F G
And the women in grey for god to pray, and the mist clung to the hill
[Verse 2]
F G
Oh, gentle wind that's blowing south from where my love repairs
F G
Convey a kiss from his dear mouth and tell me how he fairs
F G
The word was carried back to me as if by god's command
F G
Your sweetheart was murdered yesterday by your brother's jealous hand
[Verse 3]
F G
No living man I'll love again since my darling went through death's door
F G
With one lock of his yellow hair, I'll chain my heart forever more
F G
Oh, mother dear, please make my bed and lay me down in sorrow
F G
My love, he died for me last night, and I'll die for him tomorrow
[Instrumental]
