Come [G] away, human [D] child, to [Em] the water Come away, [G] human child, to the [Em] water
And the wild,
[C] like a fairy [Bm] hand in hand [Am] For
[C]
[Bm] the world's more full of [Am] weeping
And you [C] can't well stand
[G] Where dips the rocky [F#m] highland [Em] Of slothwood and the lake
[G] There lies the leafy island [F#m] Where [Em] flapping horns wake the drowsy water rats
[Bm] There we hid our [Am] fairy fats For our berries [C] and
[Em] the [Am]
reddest stolen [C] cherries
Come [G] away, human child,
[D] to [Em] the water Come away, human [F#m] child, to the [Em] water
And the wild, [C]
like [G] a fairy hand in hand [Am]
For

[G]
Where [G#m] the wave of moonlight [Em] glosses The dim grey sands with light
[G] Far off by furthest [F#m] glosses We've [Em] footed all the night, we've ennoled in dances
[C] Mingling hands and mingling [Bm] glances Till the moon has taken [Am] flight
[G#] To and fro [Am] we leap, [C] chasing fucky bubbles [Bm] While the world is full of troubles
[Am] And is anxious in [C] its sleep
Come [G] away, human child, [D] to [Em] the water Come away, [G] human child, [F#m] to the water
[Em]
And the wild,
[C] like a [G] fairy hand in hand [Am] For
[C]
the [Bm] world's more full of [Am] weeping
And you [C] can't well stand
[G] Where the wandering [D] water pushes [Em]
From the hills above Glingkar
And [D] pools among the rushes That scarce could [Em] bathe the star
We seek for slumbering [C] trout And whispering in their [Bm] ears
We give [Am] them ink-white dreams
[C] Leaning softly out from [B] furs
That drop their [Am] tears over the young [C]
streaks
