The Hunger Games The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes - Lucy Gray Part 1 Chords

[Verse 1]
 
Cm
Oft I'd heard of Lucy Gray
                       F    Cm
And when I crossed the wild
                              F   G7
I chanced to see at break of day
              Cm
The solitary child
 
 
[Verse 2]
    Cm
No mate, no comrade, Lucy knew
                      F    Cm
She dwelt where none abide
                              F   G7
The sweetest thing that ever grew
                  Cm
Upon the mountainside
 
 
[Verse 3]
    Cm
You yet may spy the fawn at play
                    F    Cm
The hare among the green
                             F  G7
But the sweet face of Lucy Gray
                    Cm
Will never more be seen
 
 
[Verse 4]
   Cm
Tonight will be a stormy night
                      F  Cm
You to the town must go
                               F    G7
And take a lantern, child, to light
                         Cm
Your mother through the snow
 
 
[Verse 5]
      Cm
That, Father, will I gladly do
                    F  Cm
'Tis scarcеly afternoon
                                   F  G7
The village clock has just struck two
                   Cm
And yondеr is the moon
 
 
[Verse 6]
    Cm
At this the Father turned his hook
                     F  Cm
To kindling for the day
                              F  G7
He plied his work, and Lucy took
                    Cm
The lantern on her way
 
 
[Verse 7]
    Cm
As carefree as a mountain doe
                        F   Cm
A fresh, new path she broke
                                 F  G7
Her feet dispersed the powd'ry snow
                         Cm
That rose up just like smoke
 
 
[Verse 8]
      Cm
The storm came on before its time
                      F   Cm
She wandered up and down
                            F  G7
And many a hill did Lucy climb
                       Cm
But never reached the town
 
 
[Verse 9]
     Cm
The wretched parents all that night
                        F   Cm
Went shouting far and wide
                                   F  G7
But there was neither sound nor sight
                      Cm
To serve them for a guide
 
 
[Verse 10]
    Cm
At day-break on a hill they stood
                      F   Cm
That overlooked the scene
                                    F  G7
And thence they saw the bridge of wood
                      Cm
That spanned a deep ravine
 
 
[Verse 11]
      Cm
They wept and, turning homeward, cried
                          F   Cm
"In heaven we all shall meet!"
                              F  G7
When in the snow the mother spied
                     Cm
The print of Lucy's feet
 
 
[Verse 12]
       Cm
Then downwards from the steep hill's edge
                             F   Cm
They tracked the footmarks small
                                   F  G7
And through the broken hawthorn-hedge
                       Cm
And by the long stone-wall
 
 
[Verse 13]
     Cm
And then an open field they crossed
                           F   Cm
The marks were still the same
                                 F  G7
They tracked them on, not ever lost
                        Cm
And to the bridge they came
 
 
[Verse 14]
       Cm
They followed from the snowy bank
                         F   Cm
Those footmarks, one by one
                          F  G7
Into the middle of the plank
                        Cm
And further there were none
 
 
[Verse 15]
     Cm
Yet some maintain that to this day
                   F   Cm
She is a living child
                              F  G7
That you may see sweet Lucy Gray
                    Cm
Upon the lonesome wild
 
 
[Verse 16]
      Cm
O'er rough and smooth she trips along
                   F   Cm
And never looks behind
                       F  G7
And sings a solitary song
                     Cm
That whistles in the wind
