[VERSE 1]
 C                            F          C
Out in the heather where the sun burns bright 

      G                      F           C
she swore she'd love me the rest of her life 

         C                        F           C
But, my hands, they shook as the noon bells chimed 

   G                    F             C
so at the last bell I showed her my knife 
[CHORUS]
       F                C
And I laid to rest my beautiful bride 

 G                            Dm
out in the heather where the sun burns bright 

       F                C
And I laid to rest my beautiful bride 

 G                            F          C
out in the heather where the sun burns bright

[VERSE 2]
 C                       F          C
Now all alone under the cool night sky 

       G                   F          C
where locusts scream and white moths fly

 C                     F        C
silvery moonbeams fall on her grave

      G                        F           C
but twisting black vines have covered her name 
[CHORUS]
       F                  C
For I loved too much my beautiful bride 

        G                  Dm
and so gave her up to the cool night sky

       F                  C
For I loved too much my beautiful bride 

        G                  F          C
and so gave her up to the cool night sky
