Whitehaven

C G F C

        C       G         F            C
What a hideous forest surrounded Whitehaven
  Em           Am         F                G
Twisted black mountains, wolves howled in madness
 C       G          F              C
Never I ventured beyond the stone tower
    Em               Am                F           G          C
As dusk spread her black wings at the edge of the dark wild wood

        C       G         F            C
But one windy evening, gathering timbers
Em          Am             F         G
Under white elm trees in shadows, I saw her
     C           G                F          C
The darkest of beauties with her basket of cherries
     Em          Am                   F            G          C   C/B
The wind at her black skirt like the hands of the wild dark wood

     C             G         F          C
She turned in her terror, a madness possessed us
     Em         Am              F             G
In shadow she clawed me, we screamed in the brambles
 C            G            F           C
Hunters came running with torches and axes
  Em         Am             F                G          C
Treetop to treetop, flames tore through the dark wild wood

 C               G         F              C
Back down they dragged us past the stone towers
      Em               Am           F                G
The church bells were ringing, the sky screamed in flashes
         C            G          F            C
But we stood in the churchyard laughing like jackals
        Em           Am          F            G         Am
As the stone towers tumbled and bowed to the wild dark wood
