FC
I must leave you for a season
GmCDm
Go out logging hardwood timber
FGBb
Hardwood timber that grows so low
BbCDm
In the forest of Fennario
FC
Tell me what you need to live, love
GmCDm
Do you ask that you might own?
FGBb
Take my blue-eyed hound to guard you
BbCDm
I will make my way alone
FCGm
I will not return in winter
GmCDm
If I be not back by fall
FGBb
Seek me when the small sunflower
CDm
Grows above the garden wall

Hill by dale now must I go |

To the forest of Fennario |

(same chord progression as previous verses)
Nine-month blew with sleeted rain
And still he came not back again
Summoned she the hound to go
To seek him in Fennario
He came back the fated day
To find his lady gone away
Made haste to follow in her track
Where she could go but not turn back
At her side the blue-eyed hound did bay
While fast her breath did fade away
She cried out: Turn, my love, and go
I would not have you see me so

(Instrumental break - same progression as Verse)
I shall not turn, I shall not yield
Oh, selfsame serpent sting my heel
That bleeds my ladys blood away
Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay
Angels sing their souls to sleep
Four winds grace their breath to keep
Up above yon garden wall
Stands the sunflower, straight and tall
Chorus:
CBbF
Hill by dale now must I go

To the forest of Fennario
