[VERSE 1]
C F C
Out in the heather where the sun burns bright
G F C
she swore she'd love me the rest of her life
C F C
But, my hands, they shook as the noon bells chimed
G F C
so at the last bell I showed her my knife
[CHORUS]
F C
And I laid to rest my beautiful bride
G Dm
out in the heather where the sun burns bright
F C
And I laid to rest my beautiful bride
G F C
out in the heather where the sun burns bright

[VERSE 2]
C F C
Now all alone under the cool night sky
G F C
where locusts scream and white moths fly
C F C
silvery moonbeams fall on her grave
G F C
but twisting black vines have covered her name
[CHORUS]
F C
For I loved too much my beautiful bride
G Dm
and so gave her up to the cool night sky
F C
For I loved too much my beautiful bride
G F C
and so gave her up to the cool night sky
