 G                     D 
Down in the Valley of Hollow Logs 
                       A 
Two lovers lay in the weeds 
 G                         D 
Safe in the net of their sweaty arms 
               A            D    
Safe from the wind in the trees 

    G                               D 
My love, said the boy, you're the clear blue sky 
                           A 
You're the air I gulp to breathe 
   G                  D 
I feel you rushing through my veins 
                         A          D 
Like the wind rushing through the trees 

    G                              D 
My love, said the girl, you're my secret pearl 
                               A 
You're a string of tiny glass beads 
          G              D 
You're a burning star I keep in a jar 
               A            D 
Safe from the wind in the trees

 G                     D 
Down in the Valley of Hollow Logs 
                            A 
Two lovers lay back in the weeds 
 G                        D 
Listening to the howl of hunting dogs 
                        A          D 
And the wind howling through the trees 

     G                   D 
Then insects ran for the underbrush 
                                      A 
As the wind filled the air with dead leaves 
    G                    D 
And every stone turned slowly to dust 
                    A          D 
As the wind tore through the trees

Bass arr. for guitar 

         G                     D 
So the young girl pierced her lily-white breast 
                            A 
Her blood poured over dark weeds 
   G                     D 
A silver dagger through her burning heart 
             A            D 
Cold as the wind in the trees 

          G                   D 
Then the boy picked up that bloody knife 
                           A 
And stove it through his chest 
     G                     D 
Farewell, farewell to the wind and the trees 
                   A          D 
I'll die with the one I love best
