Fairport Convention – Fotheringay (Guitar)

C                  G          F           Am
How often she has gazed from castle windows all

     G                   Am
And watched the daylight passing

Em                  Am
Within her captive walls

        Dm      Em       Am
With no one to heed her calls

C                   G       F                Am
The evening hour is fading within the dwindling sun

     G                   Am
And in a lonely moment

Em                  Am
Those embers will be gone

        Dm      Em       Am
And the last of all the young birds flown

C                       G       F              Am
Her days of precious freedom forfeited long before

     G                   Am
To live those fruitless years

Em                  Am
Behind a guarded door

        Dm      Em          Am
But those days will last no more

C               G          F           Am
Tommorow at this hour she will be far away

      G                 Am
Much further than these islands

         G      Am
For the lonely Fotheringay
