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