Intro:
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It was on one cold winter night
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
When the wind blew across the wild moor
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
When Mary came wandering home with her child
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Till she came to her own father's door
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
"Father, dear father," she cried
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
"Come down and open the door
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Or the child in my arms will perish and die
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
From the winds that blow across the wild moor"
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But her father was deaf to her cry
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Not a sound of a voice did he hear
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
So the watchdog did howl and the village bells tolled
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And the wind blew across the wild moor
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Oh, how the old man must have felt
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
When he came to the door the next morn'
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And he found Mary dead but the child still alive
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Closely grasping its dead mother's arms
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
In grief the old man passed away
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
And the child to its mother went soon
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And no one, they say, lives there to this day
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And the cottage to ruin has gone
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But the villagers point out the spot
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Where the willows grew over the door
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Saying, "There Mary died, once the gay village bride
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
From the wind that blew across the wild moor"
