The Song of Wandering Aengus

(Intro) GABGD GABGD GABGD CD (Verse) G Am Bm G D G I went out to the hazel wood because a fire was in my head Am Bm G D And cut and pealed a hazel wand and hooked a berry to a thread G Am D G And when white moths were on the wing and moth-like stars were flickering out D C I dropped the berry in a stream and caught a little silver trout (Verse) G Am Bm G D G When I had laid it on the floor, I went to blow the fire a-flame Am Bm G D But something rustled on the floor, and someone called me by my name G Am D G It had become a glimmering girl with apple blossom in her hair D C Who called me by my name and ran and faded through the brightening air (Verse) G Am Bm G D G Though I am old with wandering through hollow lands and hilly lands Am Bm G D I will find out where she has gone and kiss her lips and take her hands G Am D G And walk among long dappled grass and pluck 'til time and times are done D G The silver apples of the moon, the golden apples of the sun (Outro) GABGD GABGD GABGD CD
