Chords

It's all in muted downstrokes until each chord change. It's an open down up then down on each new chord. Then right back to muted downstrokes. [Intro] D A G (x2) [Verse 1]
D      A              G
And under the boughs unbound

D            A           G
All clothed in a snowy shroud

D          A            G
She had no heart so hardened

D      A              G
All under the boughs unbound
[Interlude] D A G (x2) [Verse 2]
D           A            G
Each feather it fell from skin

D           A         G
Till threadbare she grew thin

D              A         G
How were my eyes so blinded

D           A            G
Each feather it fell from skin
[Refrain]
            D             A            G
And I will hang my head, hang my head low

            D             A            G
And I will hang my head, hang my head low
[Interlude] D A G (x2) [Verse 3]
D           A        G
A gray sky, a bitter sting

D           A            G
A rain cloud, a crane on wing

D           A            G
All out beyond horizons ohhhhhhhh

D           A        G
A gray sky, a bitter sting
[Refrain]
            D             A            G
And I will hang my head, hang my head low (x6)
[Outro] D A G (x2) D G (x2)
