Gypsy Lament

	  		
G     D        Em 
 Sleep well, my Love 
G      D         Em 
 Sleep while the night sky weaves her spell 
G     D        Em 
 Sleep without pain 
G      D       Em 
 Sleep though I yearn to have you near me 
C            D 
 The flames of all you were 
     G               Em 
Have vanished in the ground 
C              D           Em 
 Sweet scented rosemary is scattered all around 

G     D        Em 
 Wait just a while 
G      D         Em 
 For in no time we'll meet again 
G      D        Em 
 Though you were gone 
G   D     Em   
 Before we wed 
       C            D          G            Em 
I give blood to you earth, not take it to his own 
C          D 
 No fire or water deep 
      Em 
Shall keep this bride from him 

G   D       Em 
 He left me while 
G    D         Em 
 The seas were wild against the shore 
G     D       Em 
 What foolish thief 
G      D    Em 
 Would dare defy the hand of fate? 

C           D          G           Em 
 I love you now as I'll never love again 
C          D 
 The rocks beneath my feet 
     Em 
Have sunken deep 

C        D 
 Earth to earth 
   G                 Em 
My love my own shall be 
C             D 
 Grow like the willow tree 
    Em 
No sadness bring to me 
C        D       G     Em 
 He the man, and I the woman 
C           D 
 My love to me 
           Em 
This shall be
