AmCFC
How often she has gazed from het castle windows all
GAm
And watched the daylight passing
EmAm
Within her captive walls
DmEmAm
With no one to heed her calls
AmCFC
The evening hour is fading with the dwindling sun
GAm
And in these lonely moments
EmAm
Those embers will be gone
DmEmAm
And the last of all the young birds flown
AmCFC
Her days of precious freedom forfeited long before
GAm
To live those fruitless years
EmAm
Behind a guarded door
DmEmAm
But those days last no more
[Interlude]
Am Dm G C F Dm Em Am (x2)
AmCFC
Tommorow at this hour she will be far away
GAm
Much further than these islands
GAm
For the lonely fotheringay
