The Snows Of France And Holland

	  		D		A		Bm 
The north wind knows no border  
D		G		F#m 
As it shifts across the shore 
D		G	A	D 
The road finds only other roads 
Bm				G 
And the dark hides even more  
D		A	G	D 
There's many a weary corner 
Bm				A 
Between Flanders and the Rhine 
G		A		Bm 
And the snows of France and Holland 
D		A		Bm 
Have parted me and mine  
G		A		Bm 
The snows of France and Holland 
D		A		G 
Have parted me and mine. 
 
 
D		A		Bm 
There's sounds to hear and sounds to fear 
D		G		F#m 
And sights to make you sing 
D		G	A	D 
And the bonniest in the morning 
Bm				G 
Is the snow goose on the wing 
D		A	G	D 
For her neck is long and slender 
Bm				A 
Her road's a simple line 
G		A		Bm 
And the snows of France and Holland 
D		A		Bm 
Have parted me and mine  
G		A		Bm 
The snows of France and Holland 
D		A		G 
Have parted me and mine. 
  
D		A		Bm 
The moon stands o'er the ocean 
D		G		F#m 
And the waves roll back the tide 
D		G	A	D 
The strongest man is the wisest fool 
Bm				G 
Till he knows the road he rides 
D			A	G		D 
For the snow goose cries to the cold North wind 
Bm			A 
The fool cries out for signs 
G		A		Bm 
And the snows of France and Holland 
D		A		Bm 
Have parted me and mine  
G		A		Bm 
The snows of France and Holland 
D		A		D 
Have parted me and mine.
