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