Loreena McKennitt ~ Stolen Child (Chords) (Standard Tuning) Intro: Em C Em C

Where ^Emdips the rocky highland Of S^Amleuth Wood ^G/Bin the l^Cake There ^Emlies a leafy island where f^Amlapping hero^G/Bns wake ^C The d^Growsy water-r^Dats There we've ^Amhid our faery v^Emats ^EmFull of be^Drries And of ^Emreddest ^Dstolen c^Cherr^Dies

[Chorus:]

Come aw^Gay, O human ch^Dild to the w^Amaters and the w^Emild With a f^Emaery, hand in h^Dand for the wo^Grld's mor^D/F#e full of weep^Eming ^DThan you^Am/he ca^G/Bn understa^Cnd.

Where the w^Emave of moonlight glosses the ^Amdim grey sa^G/Bnds with li^Cght By ^Emfar off furthest rosses we foo^Amt it ^G/Ball the^C night ^GWeaving olden d^Dances mingling ^Amhands and mingling gl^Emances Till the ^Emmoon has taken fli^Amght ^AmTo and ^G/Bfro we ^Emleap And ^Emchase the frothy b^Dubbles whilst the w^Gorld is f^D/F#ull of tro^Emubles ^DAnd is anx^Amious in ^G/Bits slee^Cp.

[Chorus] - [Guitar Solo] Where the wandering water gushes from the hills above Glen-Car In pools among the rushes that scarce could bathe a star We seek for slumbering trout and whispering in their ears Give them unquiet dreams leaning softly out From ferns that drop their tears over the young streams [Chorus]

^EmAway with us he's going the s^Amolem^G/Bn-eyed^C He'll ^Emhear no more the lowing of the ^Amcalves on the ^G/Bwarm hills^Cide Or the ^Gkettle on the ^Dhob sing p^Ameace into his ^Embreast ^EmOr see the brown mice ^Ambob round and rou^Amnd the ^G/Boatmeal c^Emhest.

[Chorus]

For he c^Gomes, the human ch^Dild to the ^Amwaters and the w^Emild With a f^Emaery hand in h^Dand for the world's ^Gmore^D/F# full of w^Emeeping ^DThan ^Amyou can u^G/Bndersta^Cnd.

A nice finger-style piece for Guitar(orig.performed on Harp) ~ Enjoy!
