Wishbone Ash – Lady Jay (Guitar)

Dm
Hear me when I cry,

C            Am
Listen to my song

    Dm
The jay, my lovely lady,

       C               Am
To the earth she did belong.

Dm
I can't trace her,

F                G
Lost her from my life,

        F            C
But the manor lady's bright young son

    G                Dm
Can take her for his wife.

Dm
Under the forest branches

C           Am
She came to me,

  Dm
Until the day she cried aloud

  C               Am
A father I should be.

     Dm
That was the last time that we met,

  F              G
I never saw her again,

        F                C
For she took her life on princeton wharf

   G              Dm
To save my worthy name.

    Dm
She found death's open arms

    C              Am
And lay in them in grace

  Dm
I watched as icy fingers

C                 Am
Clawed her lovely face.

      Dm
Now I stumble through the mist

              F               G
To where they laid her in the grave,

    F            C
And maybe I'll remember

    G              Dm
The flowers for my days.

Em
Far beyond the sand

F
I will take your hand,

    C                              G   Dm
The spirit of our love will live forever.

Em
Far beyond the clouds

F
We will laugh aloud,

    C                             G
The spirit of our love will live again.
