DA great Lord came walking through the Dmaj7forest one morning with a Gweapon in his Dhand Rich was his castle, he Dmaj7lacked for nothing, Gkilling was his Asus4plan A When a Bmwhite bird flew by, she F#mfell from the sky GNothing was Dfound, only Emblood on the Asus4groundA She was Dgone
[Verse 2]
DCursing his fortune, he Dmaj7turned to the forest to Gkill once aDgain Standing before him was a Dmaj7lovely young woman with her Ghand hung in Asus4pain A When he Bmsaw her, his eyes were F#mfilled with desire He Gsaid "I must Dhave her, Emshe must be Asus4mine. A She will be Dmine."
[Verse 2]
DHe offered her silver, he Dmaj7offered her gold but she Gthrew it on the Dground He fell to his knees and he Dmaj7begged her, "Oh please come with Gme, what you wish will be Asus4found"A She said, Bm"Sire, I'll go if you'llF#m put up your bow And Gspare these Dcreatures, Emleave them in Asus4peace A You have no F#sus4need" F#
But her Emwords were Alost in the Dwind His Geyes were Dfixed on a Aqueen And Bmall he saw was a F#mwoman but Emall she Awas, was a Ddream GOh AOh F#Ah BmAh GDaDaDa DDaDaDa Asus4Da A BmAll he saw was a F#mwoman and Emall she Awas, was a Ddream
[Verse 3]
DHe took her and bound her with Dmaj7ropes tied around her, to his castle he Gdid ride D In the wood was a bower where Dmaj7stood an old tower and he Gthrew her deep inAsus4side A And the Bmbirds left the sky and a F#mterrible cry Brought Gthunder and Dlightning, Emrain falling Asus4down A Tears on the Dground
[Verse 4]
DAll through the days on her Dmaj7face he would gaze for she was Glovely as the Dspring No words would she speak but "Dmaj7Leave them in peace" and some Gsad lament she would Asus4sing A One Bmday by the door, through the F#mwindow he saw a Gsingle white Dfeather Emlying on the Asus4floor A She was there no Dmore
[Verse 5]
DNow that great Lord is dying, his Dmaj7cold heart is crying for the Glove of the Dgirl For many an hour he has Dmaj7wept on the Tower, for she Gmeant more than the Asus4world A One Bmday in the sky a white F#mbird flew by, he Glifted his Dhands, he Emcried out in Asus4pain A Come back aF#sus4gain F#
But his Emwords were Alost in the Dwind His Gcastle was Dbuilt upon Asand BmAll he has is a F#mmemory and Emall he Ayearns is her Dhand GOh AOh F#Ah BmAh GDaDaDa DDaDaDa Asus4Da A BmAll he has is a F#mmemory and Emall he Ayearns is her Dhand.
