    F5      C5     F5        C5             F5           G5       C5
And I will lay among the pines til the night comes rolling in.

Can't you see them black haired girls, they put their heels into the world,

God must pull on the sting, so the moon can rise and sing,
    F5      C5        F5      C5             F5           G5       C5
for every child and every beast, as the night comes rolling in.

And the trees they sway and weep, and that sun must go to sleep,

so the crow can fly me to my love, and the night comes rolling in.
