For three years peaceful joy midst the rushes of the pond

Dm                                     C               Dm
Proud and gentle was the loving of the last two island swans

With his lady by his side a treasure and best friend

The pond was all so peaceful in the rising of the sun

Young and free at the island breeze their life had just begun
[Verse]
Dm                                                     C
'Til a dread day in November when the searing cold did start

Dm                                         C                 G
Stalked the hunter with his bow and put an arrow through her heart

Dm                                                C
Husband come to my side let your feathers warm my pain

Dm                              C             Dm
I feel I will not spend another day with you again
[Chorus]
        F    C     Dm
And the cold winds blow

       F         C         Am
He was brave but he's laid low

       Dm          C       Dm
By her body in the isle of mist

                            C    Dm
I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss
[Solo Part] Dm C Dm C Dm [Verse]
Dm                                                C
Of swans the people talk of only one in this days tide

             Dm                                 C             Dm
Though they brought him twenty ladies he would take no other bride

Dm                                                     C
They say he will not move from the place where she did fall

Dm                                   C                 Dm
Once so proud he's beaten now and he will not speak at all
[Chorus]
        F    C     Dm
And the cold winds blow

       F         C         Am
He was brave but he's laid low

Dm                 C       Dm
By her body in the isle of mist

                            C    Dm
I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss
