^AmThe two had gone to follow him and lost their way in^Cstead By d^D/F#usk the boys had ^Amnot been found and ^Cfear had ^D/F#turned to ^Amdread ^Am200 men had gathered there to comb the mountain ^Cside The ^D/F#fires were built on the ^Amhighest peak in ^Chopes they'd ^D/F#see the ^Amlight

Oh ^Dmommy and daddy why ^Amcan't you hear our cries The day is almost over, ^Csoon it will be ^Amnight ^DWe're so cold and hungry and our ^Amfeet are tired and ^Emsore We ^Fpromise not to ^Cstray again ^Cfrom our ^Emcabin ^Amdoor ^{Em Am}
