[Intro]
Am   C   Am   C   F   Am     C   Am
 
[Verse 1]
                      C                             Am
I dropped down in the witchwood to see what I could find
                    C                        Am
The trees had taken time out to blow away my mind
F                                    Am
All that I could hear there, was the sound of my own voice
                     C                        Am
But the music it was making was nothing of my choice
 
 
[Instrumental]
Am   C   Am   C   F   Am     C   Am
 
 
[Verse 2]
               C                             Am
The interwoven branches were laden deep with snow
                   C                            Am
A rainbow shone so softly, to show which way to go
  F                                                       Am
I observed its many colours till my eyes were rimmed with frost
                         C                                   Am
I tried hard to trace my footsteps, for I feared I might get lost
 
 
[Instrumental]
Am   C   Am   C   F   Am     C   Am
 
 
[Verse 3]
                      C                                Am
The witchwood started singing with a strange unearthly sound
                     C                               Am
My fingers grew like branches, I stood rooted to the ground
        F                                              Am
And the spell is still unbroken, I am still her bidden slave
                       C                               Am
Till a casket from the witchwood, bears my body to the grave
 
 
[Outro]
Am   C   Am   C   F   Am     C   Am
