Judy Collins - Holly Ann
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
C F C F C F C
[Verse 1]
She is a weaver
F
Through her hands the bright thread travels
C
Blue green water, willows weeping, silver stars
[Verse 2]
She sings and sighs as the shuttle flies
F
Through the yarn like a Kerry dancer
C Am
Pink and purple velvet red for a lover's bed
[Chorus]
Em Dm C
Living north of San Francisco
F C Am
With a man who built his house alone
Em Dm
Living peaceful in the country
C G C F C
The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home
[Verse 3]
She is a spinner
F
In her hands the wooden wheel turns the wool around
C
Then around again
[Verse 4]
A gypsy from Bolinas
F
Sits and plays the mandolin
C Am
Faces smile in the firelight of a foggy night
[Chorus]
Em Dm C
Living north of San Francisco
F C Am
Sometimes it's nice to be alone
Em Dm
She says, it's peaceful where she is living
C G C Am
The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home
[Bridge]
G F C
You can see the bridges of the city
F C Am
Hanging in the air by steel and stone
G F
She says, it's peaceful where she's living
C G C F C
The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home
[Verse 5]
She is a weaver
F
Through her hands the bright thread travels
C
Blue green water, willows weeping, silver stars
[Verse 6]
She is my sister
F
The baby born when I was older
C Am
Her hands are light, her hair is bright as the summer sun
[Chorus]
Em Dm C
Living north of San Francisco
F C Am
Sometimes it's nice to be alone
Em Dm
She says, it's peaceful in the country
C G C
The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home
C G C F C
The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home
