THE SONG OF THE WANDERING AENGUS
As recorded by Donovan
(From the 1971 Album HMS DONOVAN)
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am G I went out to the hazelwood C G Dm Because a fire was in my head C G Am And I cut and peeled a hazel wand G Am And hooked a berry on a thread
[Verse 2]
Am G And when white moths were on the wing C Dm And moth-like stars were flickering out C Am I dropped the berry in a stream G Am And caught a little silver trout
[Verse 3]
Am G When I had laid it on the floor C G Dm I went to blow the fire aflame C Am But something rustled on the floor G Am And someone called me by my name
[Verse 4]
Am G It had become a glimmering girl C G Dm With apple blossom in her hair C Am Who called me by my name and ran G Am And faded through the brightening air
[Verse 5]
Am G Though I am old with wandering C G Dm Through hollow lands and hilly lands C G Am I will find out where she has gone G Am And kiss her lips and take her hands
[Verse 6]
Am G And walk among long dappled grass C G Dm And pluck 'til time and times are done C G Am The silver apples of the moon G Am The golden apples of the sun
[Outro]
Am Go, go away Am Out the way, get out of the way, out of the way
