Capo 1

G5
I saw your daughter yesterday
         A5           B5
as I was idle on the porch
    A5                 G5
she slept-walked from your house down the walkway
                A5              B5 
as though she'd done it all before
        A5        G5
and the moon was out


Interlude:
A5 B5 A5 G5 A5 B5 A5 G5


and in her gown beside the riverbed
    A5               B5
she got down on her knees
                     A5          G5                     
and wrapped her long hair up in vines, and leaves, and branches
             A5                B5
and with the wind beneath her feet
        
oh, she waltzed with the dead


Interlude:
C5 E5 D5 C5 E5

                   D5
and everything was bathed
   C5              E5
in light white as milk
                  G5
as the impossible began
                      D5       C5 
she danced across the water's edge
        E5                G5
but her feet, they didn't sink
              D5     C5  E5  D5  G5
as though she flew


G (hold for a long time)

D5 A5 G5


D5                
I ran out in the water
        A5
with a lantern in my hand
      G5
I was waste deep and shivering
     
I took her wrist and walked her in
      D5
I was loathe to interrupt her
      A5              
but I had to get her home
   G5                                                                  D5
if people were to see this they'd gather up, raise hell and burn her alive


A5 G5 D5 A5 G5 D5 A5 G5


G5
don't you mind, don't you mind

she'll be fine

tie a bell around her ankle

before she lays down at night

and the sound of her footsteps

will wake me in time

don't you mind, don't you mind

I'll watch over her
                   D5
as though she were mine



I feel like I'm missing some chords, help us out in the comments.
