Misc Musicals – Ghost Quartet - The Wind And Rain (Guitar)

G                            C
There were two sisters who lived by the sea

F         C       G
Oh, the wind and rain

                        C
The younger one loved a man in the trees, cryin'

Dm        C/E     F         G
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain

         G              C
But the man broke her heart like he didn't care

F         C       G
Oh, the wind and rain

                     C
The sister ran her fingers though his hair

Dm        C/E     F        G
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain

          G                    C
So the younger got drunk on whisky and wine

F         C        G
Oh, the wind and rain

              C
Screamed his name and it echoed through the pines

Dm        C/E      F       G
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain

          G                       C
So she pushed her sister in the river to drown

F         C       G
Oh, the wind and rain

               C
Watched her coldly as she floated down

Dm         C/E    F        G
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain

           G                            C
And she floated 'til she came to the miller's pond

F         C       G
Oh, the wind and rain

              C
Dead on the water like a golden swan, cryin'

Dm         C/E     F         G
"Oh, the dreadful wind and rain"

           G                           C
And the miller pulled her out with a rusty fishing hook

F         C       G
Oh, the wind and rain

                 C
Drew that fair maid from the cold, cold brook, cryin'

 Dm        C/E      F       G
"Oh, the dreadful wind and rain"

         G                    C
And he left her bones on the banks to dry

F        C        G
Oh, the wind and rain

                            C
Left her bones there right under the sky, cryin'

Dm          C/E     F       G
"Oh, the dreadful wind and rain"

       G                  C
And along the road came a fiddler fair

F        C        G
Oh, the wind and rain

            C
Found her bones just lyin' there, cryin'

 Dm         C/E     F       G
"Oh, the dreadful wind and rain"

         G             C
And he made a little fiddle of her breastbone

F         C       G
Oh, the wind and rain

                  C
Made a little fiddle of her breastbone, cryin'

 Dm       C/E      F        G
"Oh, the dreadful wind and rain"

         G                            C
And he strung his fiddlebow with her long brown hair

F         C       G
Oh, the wind and rain

                 C
Strung his fiddlebow with her long brown hair, cryin'

 Dm        C/E     F        G
"Oh, the dreadful wind and rain"

          G                 C
But the only tune that the fiddle would play was

F         C        G
Oh, the wind and rain

           C
The only tune that the fiddle would play was

Dm        C/E      F       G
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain
