Introduction

G  D   D   Em   G  D    D    Em
So sad her eyes smiling dark eyes

G  D   D   Em   G  D  D Am *   Am7/G    Fmaj7 -> F7    E
So sad her eyes as it began

Verses

Am *   
On such a breathless night as this

Am7/G    
Upon my brow the lightest kiss

Fmaj7   ->    F7    E
I walked alone

Am *  
And all around the air did sway

Am7/G 
My lady soon will stir this way

Fmaj7   ->     F7    E
In sorrow known

    Am          G
The white queen walks

        C     G/B   Am
And the night grows pale

D        Am         D
Stars of lovingness in her hair

G  D    D  Em    G   D    D  Em    
Heeding un-heard pleading one word

G  D   D  Em   G   D  D   Am  *
So sad my eyes she cannot see

Am *  
How did thee fare what have thee seen

Am7/G   
The mother of the willow green

Fmaj7    ->    F7    E
I call her name

Am *  
And 'neath her window have I stayed

Am7/G
I loved the footsteps that she made

Fmaj7     ->     F7     E
And when she came

A                  Dm        F7
White queen how my heart did ache

Bb                 Esus4      E
And dry my lips no word would make

Am
So still I wait
