[Am]
[C] [G]
Isabel is [G] waiting in a room [D] of many [G] shadows
[Em] Her eyes like [Am] flashing diamonds [C] shining brightly from the sea
Her hair in silken tresses [D] like a rope around her shoulder
Her hair [Em] hiding tantalizing [Am]
treasures [C] that the song has [G] never seen
Isabel [A] is watching like a princess from [G] the mountains
[Em] For the first soft snows [Am] of winter [C] and the icy [G] winds they bring
With a whisper of her sadness [D] in the passing [G] of summer
[Em]
Her crown is wild [Am] red roses [C] with a lace of [G] forest green
[Bb] And she wraps her [D] arms around me [G] and she sighs
And [Bb] she sings to me [D] in silence [G] with her eyes
[Em] And her hair upon [A] my pillow [D] comforts [C] me
[G] [Bb]
[D]
[G] Isabel is weeping and her eyes are full of wonder
[Em] She knows that [Am] it's the time for her [C] and she cannot [G]
understand
She's a mistress of moonlight [D] to the stars she [G] is a sister
[Em] And the morning now [A]
awaits [Am] her [C] to betray her [G] once again
[Bb] And she whispers as [D] she sadly [G] slips away
Then [Bb] she smiles because [D] there's nothing left [G] to say
And [Em] she takes with her [A] the sadness and [D] the sorrow
[C] [G] [Gm] [D]
