Cry Of A Banshee

     B           B
On a dreary night he met a woman down
Em           Em
By the water side
B                     B
 Drawn by her weeping song,
         Em                Em
Even the wind was humming along
B             B            Em
  And all the trees were moving
                 B        B
To the sound she was producing
               B
He watched her sing,
            Em/G                   Em     C
Feeling her song might be meant for him

    Bm           A
She weeps oh she weeps
     E7/G#                E
It's death that she foresees
    Bm       A
The cry of a banshee,
E7/G#    Em/G
Cry of a banshee-
Bm   A                  E7/G# Em/G
Eee,  Ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee eee
            A  F#m E
O-o-o o-o-o oh oh
            A  C#m  C
O-o-o o-o-o oh  oh  oh

     B           B
On a dreary night
                   Em              B
He met a woman all dressed in misty white
B                            B
 He walked towards her and he asked:
          Em/G        Em
 "My fair lady, why so sad?"
B   B   Em
  Suddenly
        B           B
Her melancholic melody
                 B
Felt no longer serene
      Em/G                  Em    C
And turned into a piercing scream

    Bm           A
She weeps oh she weeps
     E7/G#                E
It's death that she foresees

The cry of a banshee,
E7/G#    Em/G
Cry of a banshee
    Bm           A
She weeps oh she weeps
     E7/G#                E
It's death that she foresees
    Bm       A
The cry of a banshee,
E7/G#    Em/G
Cry of a banshee-
Bm   A                  E7/G# Em/G

O-o-o o-o-o oh  oh  oh

G           A     Em          F#7
She already knew, she already knew,
G           A             Em           Bbdim/E
she already knew  what he came here to do

G           A     Em          F#7
