The Spinning Wheel Chords by Majella

Mellow the moonlight, to shine is beginning,
_ [G#]
Close by the window, young Eileen [C#] is spinning,
Bent o'er the fire, [F#] her _
_ [C#] sitting,
_ [G#] Is crooning _ and moaning, and [C#] drowsily knitting.
_ Ivy, _ Cara, I hear someone tapping,
[G#] To the ivy, dear mother, _ against the [C#] glass flapping. _ _
Eileen, I surely [F#] hear somebody [C#] _ sighing,
[G#] Tis the sound, mother dear, of the autumn [C#] winds dying.
_ [Cm] _ [G#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
Merrily, cheerily, _ _ noiselessly whirring,
_ [G#] Swings the wheel spin, _ _ while [C#] the foot stirring, _ _
Sprightly and brightly, [F#] and [C#] airily ringing,
_ [G#] Thrills the sweet _ voice, of the young [C#] maiden singing.
[G#] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ There's a form at the casement, a form of her true love,
[G#] She whispers, face bent, I'm waiting [C#] for you love,
Get up on the stool, [F#] through the lattice [C#] step lightly,
[G#] And we'll row in the grove, while the moon [C#] shining brightly. _ _ _

_ Lazily, easily, swings now the wheel round,
[G#]
Slowly and slowly, is heard now [C#] the real sound, _
_ Noiseless and light, [F#] to the lattice _ [C#] above her,
[G#] The maid creeps and leaps, to the arms [C#] of her lover, _ _
_ Slower and slower and slower,
The wheel swings [G#] slower, _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] and the reel rings,
The reel and the wheel, [F#] stops their ringing,
_ [C#] And woving, [G#] through the grove, the young lovers,
By moving.
