Intro: C 

verse 1 
          G7                   F              C 
Well it's many a fine lady has walked along beside me 
            Em           F                             G7 
With their flesh made of velvet and their eyes made of rain 
     C             G7          F           C 
Well some tried to hold me, to hurt me, to hide me 
    Em           F           G7          C 
And some turned away, not to look back again 


verse 2 
G7                        F           C 
One stood among them, I remember most clearly 
         Em           F                           G7 
Well her sorrows were heavy, and her laughter was slow 
       C           G7            F              C 
Well I courted her gently, and I loved her most dearly 
      Em          F        G7          C 
And I came her majestic reflections to know 


verse 3 
       G7                            F          C 
oh her words, like a mountain, stood lonely and lofty 
         Em             F                            G7 
With her face like a daydream and her hair like the shawl 
C         G7             F           C 
Worn by a mourner, as he steals away softly 
     Em               F              G7         C 
From those that would have him mourn nothing at all 


verse 4 
    G7                    F           C 
Oh, endlessly sorrow rode high on the north wind 
Em           F                       G7 
Slashing and slicing to take him his toll 
    C         G7           F             C 
And endlessly creatures of darkness were cutting 
      Em                 F          G7          C 
Their paths through the walls that shelter the soul

Verse 5 
       G7                   F         C 
Ah but no longer gypsy-like sadness unending 
         Em              F                        G7 
Well her eyes - they lay hollow and her face petrified 
     C            G7           F         C 
Well some will go laughing and others condemning 
       Em         F                   G7           C 
Oh but who there among you could have told her goodbye?
