Song of Wandering Aengus -Mike Scott and Steve Wickham chords
Start Jamming...
The song is very, very much true to the poem that William Butler Yeats wrote.
So listen closely to the lyrics, but the music itself is just absolutely beautiful.
It's the Water Boys on the Wood Song.
I
[B]
[F#]
[F#m]
[A] [E]
went out to [B] the hazel wood
[F#]
Because a fire [F#m] was in my [A] head
[E]
And cut and [B] peeled a hazel wand
And [F#]
hooked a [F#m] berry to [A] a thread
And [C#m]
when white moths [B] were on the wing
And [Bm]
moth-like stars [A] were flickering out
I [E]
dropped the berry [B] in a stream
[F#]
And caught a [F#m] little [A] silver trout
When [E]
I had laid [B] it on the ground
I [F#]
went to blow [F#m] the [A] fire aflame
[E]
But something made [B] a rustling sound
And [F#]
someone called [F#m] me by my [A] name
It [C#m]
had become [B] a glimmering girl
[Bm]
With apple blossom [A] in her hair
[E]
Who called me by my [B] name and ran
[F#]
And faded in [F#m] the brightening [A] air
[E]
Though I am [B] old with wandering
[F#] Through hollow lands [F#m] and hilly [A] lands
I [E]
will find out [B] where she has gone
[F#]
And kiss her lips [F#m] and touch [A] her hands
And [C#m]
walk among [B] long dappled paths
[Bm]
And pluck till [A] time and times are done
The [E]
silver apples [B] of the moon
[F#]
The golden [F#m] apples of the sun
[A] The [E]
silver [B] apples of the moon
The [F#]
golden [F#m] apples of the sun
