(intro) E5 C5 E5 C5 E5 C5 E5 E5 G5 C5 Where dips the rocky highland A5 B5 E5 Of Sleuth Wood in the lake E5 G5 C5 There lies a leafy island A5 B5 E5 Where flapping herons wake G5 D5 The drowsy water-rats A5 E5 There we've hid our faery vats G5 D5 Full of berries E5 D5 And of reddest stolen cherries G5 D5 Come away, O human child A5 E5 To the waters and the wild G5 D5 With a faery, hand in hand E5 G5 C5 E5 For the world's more full of weeping A5 B5 E5 Than you can understand. E5 E5 Where the wave of moonlight glosses A5 B5 E5 The dim grey sands with light E5 E5 By far off furthest Rosses A5 B5 E5 We foot it all the night G5 D5 Weaving olden dances A5 E5 Mingling hands and mingling glances G5 D5 Till the moon has taken flight A5 E5 To and fro we leap G5 D5 And chase the frothy bubbles E5 G5 C5 E5 Whilst the world is full of troubles A5 B5 E5 And is anxious in its sleep. G5 D5 Come away, O human child A5 E5 To the waters and the wild G5 D5 With a faery, hand in hand E5 G5 C5 E5 For the world's more full of weeping A5 B5 E5 Than you can understand. (solo) E5 C5 E5 C5 E5 E5 Where the wandering water gushes A5 B5 E5 From the hills above Glen-Car E5 E5 In pools among the rushes A5 B5 E5 That scarce could bathe a star G5 D5 We seek for slumbering trout A5 E5 And whispering in their ears G5 D5 Give them unquiet dreams A5 E5 Leaning softly out G5 D5 From ferns that drop their tears C5 Over the young streams G5 D5 Come away, O human child A5 E5 To the waters and the wild G5 D5 With a faery, hand in hand E5 G5 C5 E5 For the world's more full of weeping A5 B5 E5 Than you can understand. (solo) E5 C5 E5 C5 E5 E5 Away with us he's going A5 B5 E5 The solemn-eyed E5 E5 He'll hear no more the lowing A5 B5 E5 Of the calves on the warm hillside G5 D5 Or the kettle on the hob A5 E5 Sing peace into his breast G5 D5 Or see the brown mice bob A5 E5 Round and round the oatmeal chest. G5 D5 For here comes, O human child A5 E5 To the waters and the wild G5 D5 With a faery, hand in hand E5 G5 C5 E5 For the world's more full of weeping A5 B5 E5 Than you can understand.
