Dm C [tab]Dm C Dm his faithful heart would not consider any other wife Dm C 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

[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
