VERSE 1
I must leave you for a season
Gsus/E C DmGo out logging that hardwood timber
F GHardwood timber that grows so low
In the forest of Fennario
Tell me what you need to live, love
Gsus C DmDo you ask that you might own
F GTake my blue-eyed hound to guard you
I will make my way alone
I will not return in winter
Gsus C DmIf I be not back by fall
F GSeek me when this small sunflower
Grows above the garden wall
Fare you well and I would not weep
Bid you tend your prayers to keep
C G FHill by dale now must I go
C Dm/B C DmTo the forest of Fennario
G Gsus C Dm
VERSE 2
F CNine-month blew with sleeted rain
And still he came not back again
F GSummoned she the hound to go
Gsus C DmTo seek him in Fennario
F C
He came back the fated day
To find his lady gone away
F GMade haste to follow in her track
Gsus C DmWhere she could go but not turn back
F C
At her side the blue-eyed hound did bay
While fast her breath did fade away
F GShe cried out: Turn, my love, and go
Gsus C DmI would not have you see me so
CHORUS
VERSE 3
I shall not turn, I shall not yield
Gsus C DmOh, selfsame serpent sting my heel
F GThat bleeds my ladys blood away
Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay
Angels sing their souls to sleep
Gsus C DmFour winds grace their breath to keep
F GUp above yon garden wall
Stands the sunflower, straight and tall
