Verse 1
Am
G
In the cattails a maid did dwell
She sang sweet songs but
Am
she loved as well
G
She was a bit over five feet tall,
Em
and she loved no man,
Am
for she loved them all.
G
In her bed many hours we lay
While the north winds blow
Am
and the sparrows play
G
And in my hand she placed a key
Em
Am
Saying, keep this, my love, follow me
G
So I swore, for she knew me well
Am
I swore this love I'd never tell
G
She said, me, her soul she'd sell
Em
Am
Even if she must walk the fires of hell
G
Her hair, it rushed and flowed so long
Am
On a silken pillow, it did belong
G
Her eyes were yellow like the morning sun
Am
G
And they were singing each one a song
Em
Am
And her skin was dark like a rusted dawn
G
Well, in her hair would flow my tears
Am
Of my lonely days and my bitter years
G
And on her breast, my soul would sail
Em
And her mouth was as sweet,
Am
sweet as hail
G
She was to me a golden cup
Am
That poured me life for me to sup
G
And in her heart was a looking glass
Em
Am
And a sturdy ship with a highest mas t
G
For many days I did remain,
until one day
Am
I forgot her name,
G
then I knew I'd have to go
Em
from where the sparrows played
Am
and the north winds blew
G
but then one day by the cattail pond
my love was dying
Am
and then she was gone
E
Am
G
I buried her where the green grass grows
Em
Am
And there she slept till the winter snow
G
So I sent my sorrow to the trees
Am
They said go send to the breeze
But they knew this love
G
no man could believe
Em
So I bur ied my sorrow,
Am
my heart and my key.
