Chords for Karan Casey - Out of the Window Song | Tigh T&H Doolan | Geantraí 2007 | TG4

_ My _ _ father said to me, _ my mother won't mind
_ and my _ father won't slight you for your lack of kind.
_ He stepped [G] away from me as he moved through the fair
_ Oh, it will not be long, love, _ until [Gm] our wedding _ day.
_ [G] He stepped _ away from me _ as he moved through the fair
_ Where hand-clapping dealers, _ _ loud shouts rent the air
The _ sunlight _ about him, it did sparkle and it did flame
_ And it will not be long, love, _ until our wedding _ day.
_ When dew _ falls on _ metum and moths fill the land
_ _ _ When the glow _ of the ashes from the heart throws half-light _ _
I will slip from the casement _ and we will run away _
And it _ will not be long, love, _ until our [C] _ wedding _ day.
_ _ According _ _ to promise _ at midnight I rose
_ But all that I found _ [G] were the down-folded clothes _
The _ sheets they lay empty, _ it was plain for to see _
That _ out of the window _ with another _ one tea
_ _ And if _ I were an eagle _ and I had wings _ _ _ _ _ _
I would fly to my love's castle _ and it's there I would hide
_ _ _ On a bed of green ivy I would lay my love down
_ And it's with my two fallen wings _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
