"Crinan Wood" by Alexi Murdoch

D#, D#M7sus2, G#, D#,

[Intro guitar x 2]

It was cold, you had your hands inside your sleeve
And as we walked I heard the laughter in the leaves
See the shadows lying now where once we stood
And I would lie down with her if only I could

[Just guitar x 2]

The music came to me, it came across the sound
And how you laughed and shone and danced a circle round
As we walked away, I saw a shadow on the ground
There were stones inside my pockets that we found

[Just guitar x 2]

When I was younger I heard angels on the roof
A thousand voices singing each note was the truth
Well a wisened lad, I left them in my youth
And I have only just my memory for proof

[Just guitar x 2]

See a doorway open on a darkened room
Out in the garden, thread lies broken on the loom
See a face that's smiling, flicker on the wall
And in the distance, mountains waiting for the fall

[Just guitar x 4]

And see these knots around my hands, around my feet
They would take me down my end for me to meet
And I grow weary of this struggle and this fight
The morning's so far off from out here in the night

[Just guitar x 2]

The night is cold, That you must leave me, this I know
And empty all the places where we used to go
Before I knew you I went climbing in the snow
Called your name out to the darkness down below

[Instrumental...]
