[G] Come away, _ [D] human child, _ [Em] to the water, _ _ _ _ _ [G] Come away, _ _ [D] child, _ [Em] to the water _ and the wild, _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] With a fairy [Bm] hand in [Am] hand, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Bm] For the world's more full [Am] of weeping than [C] you can once stand.
_ [G] Where dips [D] the rocky highland [Em] _ of slothwood and the lake, _
_ [G] There [D] lies the leafy island [Em] where flapping _ ferns wake the drowsy [C] water rats.
_ _ [G] _ There we hid our [Am] fairy fats, _ _ _ _ flower berries, [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Am] and the reddest stone [C] cherries.
Come [G] away, human [D] child, _ [Em] to the water, _ _ _ _ _ [G] Come away, _ [D] child, _ _ [Em] to the water _ and the wild, _ _

[G] _ _ _ [D] Where the wave of moonlight [Em] glosses, the dim grey sands with light, _
[G] Far off by [F#m] furthest glosses, _ [Em] we foot it all the night, weaving olden dances, _
[C] Mingling hands and mingling [G] glances, till the moon has [Am] taken flight to and fro we leap, _ _
[C] Chasing fotty [G] bubbles while the world is full of troubles [Am] _ and is [C] anxious in its sleep.
[G] Come away, _ human [D] child, _ to [Em] the water, _ _ _ _ _ [G] Come away, _ [D] child, _ to [Em] the water and the wild,
With [C] _ _ _ [G] a fairy hand in [Am] hand, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ For [G] the world's more full [Am] of weeping than [C] you can once stand.
[G] _ _ Where [D] the wandering water pushes [Em] from the hills above Glinkar, _ _
[G] And pools among [D] the rushes that scarce could [Em] bathe star,
_ We seek for [C] slumbering trout, and whispering [G] in their ears,
[Am] We give them inquiet dreams, _ _ _ _
[C] _ leaning softly [Bm] out from ferns that drop [Am] their tears,
Over the young streams. _

[G] _ _ Away [F#m] with us he is going, _
[Em] _ the solemn might, _ _ _
[G] _ He'll hear no more [F#m] the lowing of [Em] the calves
On a warm hillside, _ _
[C] _ or the kinkle on the [G] hob, _ _ _
[Am] Same peace unto his breast, _ _ [C] or see the brown mice [G] flop, _ _
[Am] Around and around the old [C] mead chest.
He [G] comes, or he comes, human [D] child, to [Em] the water, _ _ _ _ _
He [G] comes, _ _ [D] or he comes, human child, to [Em] the water and the wild, _ _
