_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Silver moonlight dances from the mists of Teget shore
A lady looks upon her son like many times before
And [Eb] she touches his face, [F] fingers wet, with the [G] tears falling
Her _ _ _ _ _ daughter stands beside her, the fairest in the land
How her son became so cursed she cannot understand
But [Eb] this mother's love is [F] as strong as [G] her heart is beating _
And _ _ _ [Eb] she calls to the earth, and [F] the earth hears her [Gm] calling _
_ High [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ up in the mountains, Dina Saffron stands tall
All magic and all mysteries are held within these walls
So [Eb] she walks to the door, as [C] she does the [Dm] door it [G] opens _
Teach _ _ _ _ to me the mystery of the cauldron's brew
Let utter darkness give way to light and be reborn anew
Then [Eb] the Ah-wen will shine from [F] the brow of the eagle of [G] the sea
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] And all will know his name from [C] this land to the [G] people of the sheep _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] The [Gm] lady set the cauldron's fire, tended by the hand
Off we embarked, the innocent, and moored the blind man
Brew [Eb] reached out his hand, placed [F] more wood, kept the cauldron [Gm] boiling _
_ _ _ _ _ Then moored her, he fell asleep, alas he didn't see
Wood upon wood was added, the infernal was the key
To [Eb] unlock the door of [F] the Ah-wen's greatest [Gm] mystery _
_ Three _ _ [Eb] drops burning skin, [F] and it's Gwion who gained the power [Gm] to see
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The cauldron cracks, the poison creeps slowly across the land
To kill the horses of Garinir, at the lakeshore where they stand
[Eb] _
Drinking and not knowing their [F] fate, as a hare [G] runs fast across the land
_ _ _ _ _ _ Keridwen, Keridwen, lady of the cauldron, come see what they have done
Stolen your cauldron's power, and betrayed your only son
[Eb] Your eyes wide, lips [F] curl, anger on your [G] face
Change your shape now lady, be the hound, begin [Eb] the chase _
I [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ shall be a running hare with sorrow and with micklecare
[Eb] Then I shall be a greyhound, [Dm] bitch and [G] tear you from your skin
Then I shall be a flying wren, the king of birds, the king of men
[Eb] So I shall be a falcon, grey [Dm] and tear you from your [G] skin
Then I shall be a salmon, sleek, darting through a shallow creek
[Eb] So I shall be an otter, bitch [Dm] and wrest you from [G] your skin
I shall be a grain beneath the sun, and you will never know which one
[Eb] Then I shall be a grey black hen [F] and take you deep within
_ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] Now you may be forgiven to think my tale is over [Gm] and done
But nine moons later she gave birth to a son that [Eb] she wanted to kill
But [F] she placed in a carcal on [Gm] the sea
_ _ _ _ _ Garin is salmon, we're a catch was guaranteed
But on this day a baby boy cried out to be breed
[Eb] A radiant brow, [F] shining bright for all to [Gm] plainly see
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Eb] Taviesin is your name, the greatest [F] bard that this land will [Gm] ever see _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
