Gryphon foi uma banda britânica de rock progressivo nos anos 1970, notável por seu som e instrumentação incomuns. O multi-intrumentista Richard Harvey e Brian Gulland, seu colega de graduação na Royal Academy of Music e músico de intrumentos de sopro de madeira, fundaram o grupo como um conjunto acústico, que misturava o folclore inglês tradicional com música medieval de influências renascentistas e árcades. Logo depois juntaram-se à dupla o guitarrista Graeme Taylor e o baterista e percurssionista David Oberlé.

Note: I'm not sure about this Em in third verse, but it sound good enough for me
DmCFGDmAm Cold blows the wind to my true love and gently drops the rain DmCFGDmGDm I only had but one true love and in greenwood she lies slain FGEmDmAm I'll do as much for my true love as any young man may DmCFGDmGDm I'll sit and mourn along her grave for a twelve-month and a day
When the twelve months and one day was past the ghost began to speak: "Why sit thou'st here along my grave and will not let me sleep?" "There's one thing that I want sweetheart, there's one thing that I crave And that is a kiss from your lily white lips then I'll go from your grave"
"My lips they are as cold as clay my breath smells earthy strong And if you kiss my cold clay lips your days they won't be long Go fetch me water from the desert and blood from out of stone Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast that a young man never had known"
'Twas down in Cupid's Garden where you and I would walk The finest flower that ever I saw is withered to a stalk The stalk is withered and dry sweetheart the flower will ne'er return And since I lost my one true love what can I do but mourn?
"When shall we meet again sweetheart? When shall we meet again?" "Ere the oaken leaves that fall from the trees are green and spring up again"
