Caroline Herring - Song Of The Wandering Aengus Chords

INTRO: Am

                        C
I went out to the hazel wood
          G              Am
Because a fire was in my head
                             C
And I cut and peeled a hazel wand
             G          Am
And hooked a berry to a thread


               C                 Em
And when white moths were on the wing
              Am                    F
And moth-like stars were flickering out
            Am         C
I dropped a berry in a stream
             G             Am
And caught a little silver trout


                          C
When I had laid it on the ground
          G              Am
I went to blow the fire aflame
                             C
And something rustled on the floor
            G               Am
And someone called me by my name


         C                 Em
It had become a glimmering girl
           Am              F
With apple blossoms in her hair
              Am             C
She called me by my name and ran
             G                  Am
And vanished in the brightening air


INSTRUMENTAL: Am    G  Am    G  Am


                           C
Though I am old with wandering
               G               Am
Through hollow lands and hilly lands
                              C
I will find out where she has gone
             G                 Am
And kiss her lips and take her hands

          C               Em
And walk upon the dappled grass
               Am                 F
And pluck 'til time and times are done
           Am            C
The silver apples of the moon
           G             Am
The golden apples of the sun
                         C
The silver apples of the moon
           G             Am
The golden apples of the sun
