F                C   
I MUST LEAVE YOU FOR A SEASON 
Gm     C                Dm 
GO OUT LOGGIN HARD WOOD TIMBER 
F                    G 
HARDWOOD TIMBER THAT GROWS SO LOW 
Bb            C         Dm 
IN THE FOREST OF FENNARIO 
 
F                C  
TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED TO LIVE, LOVE 
Gm     C                   Dm 
DO YOU ASK THAT YOU MIGHT OWN 
F                 G 
KEEP MY BLUE EYED HOUND TO GUARD YOU 
Bb     C            Dm 
I WILL MAKE MY WAY ALONE 
 
I WILL NOT RETURN IN WINTER 
IF I BE NOT BACK BY FALL 
SEEK ME WHEN THE SMALL SUNFLOWER 
STANDS ABOVE THE GARDEN WALL 
 
CHORUS: 
 
C        Bb                   F 
FARE YE WELL AND I WOULD NOT WEEP 
F        C                   Dm 
BID YOU TEND YOUR PRAYERS TO KEEP 
C         Bb             F 
HILL BY DALE NOW MUST I GO 
C             Bb       Dm 
TO THE FOREST OF FENNARIO 
                                  
G Bb C Dm 
 
NINE-MONTHS 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 THAT FATED DAY 
TO FIND HIS LADY GONE AWAY 
MADE HASTE TO FOLLOW IN HER TRACK 
WHERE SHE COULD GO BUT NOT COME BACK 
 
AT HER SIDE THE BLUE-EYED HOUND DID LAY 
WHILE FAST HER BREATH DID FADE AWAY 
SHE CRIED OUT "TURN MY LOVE AND GO 
I WOULD NOT HAVE YOU SEE ME SO" 
 
G Bb C Dm 
 
INSTRUMENTAL 
 
I SHALL NOT TURN I SHALL NOT YIELD 
OH SELF-SAME SERPENT STING MY HEEL 
THAT BLEEDS MY LADIES 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 
 
C         Bb             F 
HILL BY DALE NOW MUST I GO 
C             Bb       Dm 
TO THE FOREST OF FENNARIO
