Vilja Lied

Bm F#m For a sudden tremor ran, Bm F#m Right thro’ the love bewilder’d man, A D A D And he sigh’d as a hapless lover can. D Vilia, O Vilia! The witch of the wood! A G G A Would I not die for you, dear, if I could? D Bm F#m D#dim Vilia, O Vilia, my love and my bride! A E A Softly and sadly he sigh’d D Vilia, O Vilia! The witch of the wood! A G G A Would I not die for you, dear, if I could? D Bm F#m D#dim Vilia, O Vilia, my love and my bride! Em A D Softly and sadly he sigh’d D The wood maiden smiled, and no answer she gave, Bm F#m Bm But beckon’d him into the shade of the cave; Em D Em Bm He never had known such rapturous bliss, G A D No maiden of mortals so sweetly can kiss! Bm F#m As before her feet he lay, Bm F#m She vanish’d in the wood away, A D A D And he call’d vainly till his dying day! D Vilia, O Vilia! The witch of the wood! A G G A Would I not die for you, dear, if I could? D Bm F#m D#dim Vilia, O Vilia, my love and my bride! A E A Softly and sadly he sigh’d D Vilia, O Vilia! The witch of the wood! A G G A Would I not die for you, dear, if I could? D Bm F#m D#dim Vilia, O Vilia, my love and my bride! Em A D Softly and sadly he sigh’d
