The Girl In The Wood

Am
Oh when I was a young boy
Am
And drove my mother wild
  F            G7
I met a maiden in the woods
    C        E7
And she said child

E7
Look deep into my green eyes
    Dm           Am
And at my autumn hair
                                   Dm
When your a man you'll never see a girl
         Am
Quite as fair

[Chorus]

  F              C      Em
Remember me oh remember me
  Dm                          Am
Remember for the rest of your life

[Verse 2]

Am
Her eyes were green as grassy pools
Am
Lookin' right at me
    F                 G7
Her hair was red and grown with leaves
     C              E7
Just like an autumn tree

E7
She moved her tiny hands
    Dm                Am
And she made a little turn
                  Dm
She swayed in the wind
                     Am
Just like a graceful fern

[Verse 3]

Am
I swore as she vanished
Am
That when I was full grown
    F                G7
I'd have a girl just like her
   C          E7
To be my very own

E7
And now I am a man
    Dm             Am
And I'd marry if I could
                     Dm
But I can't lose the memory
                   Am
Of the girl in the wood

[Chorus]

  F              C      Em
Remember me oh remember me
  Dm                          Am
Remember for the rest of your life

[Verse 4]

Am
I wished a hundred times
Am
That she'd never looked at me
     F              G7
With the first wild beauty
     C              E7
That only youth can see

E7
For man cannot find it
     Dm                 Am
When he's lookin' for a wife
                    Dm
And he'll end up in bachelorhood
                Am
The rest of his life

[Chorus]

  F              C      Em
Remember me oh remember me
  Dm                          Am
Remember for the rest of your life
  Dm                          Am
Remember for the rest of your life
