The Curlews Song

| C          | Em         | Am         | Am         | Am         |
| (G)        | G          | C          | C          |

[Verse 1]
  C       Em     Am     Am      Am
I heard a curlew crying long
     G          G          C          C
on a moor where wild winds blew.
        C        Em      Am       Am      Am
And the sound of his sad lonesome song
     G       G        C          C
made me feel lonesome too.

[Chorus]
| Am         | Am         | Em         | Em         |
Ooooh
| F          | F          | C          | C          |
| G          | G          | G          | G          |
| C          | C          | C          | C          |

[Verse 2]
     C      Em           Am       Am      Am
Cold winter came and the moorland froze,
    G            G        C          C
the winds howled long and long.
    C     Em     Am          Am      Am
And often echoed through the snows,
  G          G        C          C
I heard that curlew's song.

[Chorus]
| Am         | Am         | Em         | Em         |
Ooooh
| F          | F          | C          | C          |
| G          | G          | G          | G          |
| C          | C          | C          | C          |

[Verse 3]
      C          Em     Am    Am      Am
Sweet sun-warmed summer came along
     G           G       C          C
from greenleafed days of spring.
  C       Em      Am       Am      Am
I soon forgot the lonesome song,
  G         G      C          C
I heard the curlew sing.

[End-Chorus]
| Am         | Am         | Em         | Em         |
Ooooh
| F          | F          | C          | C          |
| G          | G          | G          | G          |
| C          | Em         | Am         | A          ||
