Em      Am  G           D/F#  Em
Let the sun gather round my   shoulders
    C      Em        Am   D
And I will forget my loss
    D       Em
For I had a child
      C                Em
Whose skin was soft as summer
   C          Am       D
As I laid her down for sleep

    D   Em
But she says,
 C            Em
"Father don't leave me
   C           Am        D
My dreams have turned to black"


Em     Am       G        D/F#  Em
Listen here, my only daughter, closely
    C       Em       Am     D
And you can sleep in peace
    D             Em
For I have strong hands
      C                Em
And a cautious eye for danger
   C       Am       D
So you can sleep in peace

    D   Em
But she says,
 C            Em
"Father don't leave me
   C        Am        D
My skin has turned to white"


Em     Am       G        D/F#  Em
Listen here, my only daughter, closely,
    C       Em       Am     D
And you can sleep in peace
    D           Em 
For my house is warm
         C                  Em
From the winds that blow so coldly
   C       Am       D
So you can sleep in peace 

    D   Em
But she says,
 C           Em
"Father stay closely
   C           Am        D
My heart, it's cold like stone"

   Em       Am
My daughter sleeps
    G           D/F#  Em
But she will not be   dreaming
    C         Em       Am    D
Her breathing grows so weak
   D               Em
My heart tears the skin
  C                 Em
A bird has lost its feathers
   C           Am      D
My hands, they grow so weak

    D    Em    C        Em
The moon rises over my apartment
    C            Am     D
but I can't look fondly on


Em      Am    G           D/F#  Em    
Let the earth gather round my   daughter
    C         Em     Am    D
And I will forget my loss
    D       Em
For I had a child
      C                Em
Whose skin was soft as summer
   C          Am       D
As I laid her down for sleep
