Loreena McKennitt ~ Stolen Child (Chords) (Standard Tuning) Intro: Em C Em C Em Am G/B C Where dips the rocky highland Of Sleuth Wood in the lake Em Am G/B C There lies a leafy island where flapping herons wake G D Am Em The drowsy water-rats There we've hid our faery vats Em D Em D C D Full of berries And of reddest stolen cherries (Chorus:) G D Am Em Come away, O human child to the waters and the wild Em D G D/F# Em With a faery, hand in hand for the world's more full of weeping D Am G/B C Than you/he can understand. Em Am G/B C Where the wave of moonlight glosses the dim grey sands with light Em Am G/B C By far off furthest rosses we foot it all the night G D Am Em Weaving olden dances mingling hands and mingling glances Em Am Am G/B Em Till the moon has taken flight To and fro we leap Em D G D/F# Em And chase the frothy bubbles whilst the world is full of troubles D Am G/B C And is anxious in its sleep. (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) Em Am G/B C Away with us he's going the solemn-eyed Em Am G/B C He'll hear no more the lowing of the calves on the warm hillside G D Am Em Or the kettle on the hob sing peace into his breast Em Am Am G/B Em Or see the brown mice bob round and round the oatmeal chest. (Chorus) G D Am Em For he comes, the human child to the waters and the wild Em D G D/F# Em With a faery hand in hand for the world's more full of weeping D Am G/B C Than you can understand. A nice finger-style piece for Guitar(orig.performed on Harp) ~ Enjoy!
