Hawthorn

G         D
Hawthorn white
C          Bm
Hawthorn red
G                    D
Hanging in the garden at my head
Em       D      C       Bm
Tell me simple tell me true
D                       Bm
When winter comes what will I do?

G         D           C        Bm
I have a house with chimneys four
G                  D
I have a silver bell at my door
Em       D      C       Bm
A single hearth and a single bed
 D                             Bm
"That's not enough," the hawthorn said
C                     Csus4
I have a lute and I have a lyre
D                      Bm
A yellow cat sits by my fire

C                       Bm
A nightingale to my tree is tied
D                               Bm
"That bird looks sick." the Hawthorn cried

[Verse]
G         D           C        Bm
I have a horse with wings for feet
G                    D
I have a chicken each day to eat

Em         D         C            Bm
When I was born the church bells rang
G
"But just for time"
D
The Hawthorn sang
C                    Csus4
I have a silk and satin spread
D                      Bm
That runs blood red round my bed head
C                       Csus4
So why's my heart as light as lead
D                         Bm
There's no love there the Hawthorn said
C
Hawthorn white
Bm
Hawthorn red
D                         Bm
Hanging in the garden at my head
Em              C         Bm
Tell me simple tell me true
Em                             Bm
When winter comes what will I do?
