Capo III:

G Bb C Dm

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

G Bb C Dm
