Throughout the flute intro - Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm Bb
The wind blows low and mournful
F G
Through the Strath of Dalnacreich
Dm Bb
Where once there lived a woman
F G
Who would a mother be
Dm Bb
For twelve long years a good man's wife
F G
but ne'er the cradle filled
F Bb G Dm
A mother of a changeling child from 'neath the fairy hill
Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb
She traveled to the standing stones
F G
And crossed into the green
Dm Bb
Where all the host of elven folk
F G
were dancing there unseen
Dm Bb
Through the night she bargained
F G
with the Queen of fairies all
F Bb G Dm
who sent her home at dawning with a babe beneath her shawl
[Verse 3]
Dm Bb
How their home was joyful
F G
with a son to call their own
Dm Bb
But soon they saw the years that passed
F G
would never make him grow
Dm Bb
The fairies would not answer her
F G
The stones were dark and slept
F Bb G Dm
A babe was all she asked for, and their promises they'd kept
Dm
[Verse 4]
Dm Bb
The wind blows low and mournful
F G
Through the Strath of Dalnacreich
Dm Bb
Where once there lived a woman
F G
Who would a mother be
Dm Bb
For fifty years she rocked that babe
F G
it's said she rocks him still
F Bb G Dm
A mother of a changeling child from 'neath the fairy hill.
