Christy Moore – The Song Of Wandering Aengus (Guitar)

G     Em               G
I went out to the hazel wood,

Am        C              G
Because a fire was in my head,

G           Em             G
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,

Am           C          D
And hooked a berry to a thread;

C              G                 D
And when white moths were on the wing,

G             Em                    G
And moth-like stars were flickering out,

Am            C          D
I dropped the berry in a stream

Am           C      D      G
And caught a little silver trout.

G          Em             G
When I had laid it on the floor

Am        C             G
I went to blow the fire a-flame,

G             Em             G
But something rustled on the floor,

Am          C               D
And someone called me by my name:

C               G          D
It had become a glimmering girl

G          Em             G
With apple blossom in her hair

Am            C              D
Who called me by my name and ran

Am        C           D           G
And faded through the brightening air.

G           Em             G
Though I am old with wandering

Am             C               G
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,

G           Em                G
I will find out where she has gone,

Am           C                 D
And kiss her lips and take her hands;

C                   G       D
And walk among long dappled grass,

G              Em                 G
And pluck till time and times are done,

Am         C             D
The silver apples of the moon,

Am         C      D      G
The golden apples of the sun.
