The Bachelor And The Bride

Capo 1 Fm A# There's a wrinkle, in the water D# C#maj7 Where we laid our, first daughter Fm A# C#maj7 C7 And I think the wind blows so sweetly there, over there And the windows, and the cinders And the willows, in the timbers The infernal rattling of the rain, still remains Fm C Fm But I, said the bachelor to the bride C C# Am not waiting for tonight, G# A# No, I, I will box your ears C7 Fm And leave you here stripped bare Fm A# D# C#maj7 Stripped bare... Hear the corncrakes, and the deerhooves And the sleet rain on the slate roof A medallion locked inside her hands, in her hands And his fingers, are they telling Of the barren of her belly Do his calluses cure her furrowed brow, even now But I, said the bachelor to the bride Am not waiting for tonight, No, I will box your ears And leave you here stripped bare, Fm A# D# C#maj7 Fm A# D# C#maj7 Stripped bare, stripped bare, stripped bare But I, said the bachelor to the bride Am not waiting for tonight, No, I will box your ears C# And take your tears A# C# Fm A# D# C#maj7 And leave you, leave you here, stripped bare Fm A# D# C#maj7 (2x) Fm
