Verse: (Chords)

Bbmin Cm

My young bride why are your

..shoulders like that of a

tired old woman? Like a tired a

..old woman.

My young bride why are your

..fingers like that of the

hedge in winter? Of the hedge in

..winter.

Chorus: (Chords)

Bbmin Cm

Cold days in winter, snowshoes and

..hunters carry the goats sent for

..you.

Verse:

My young bride why aren't you

..moving at all? Helps to

make the day seem short. Helps to

..make the day seem shorter.

My young bride why aren't keeping

..with you all the

ones who really love you? All the

..ones who really love you.

Cold days in winter, snowshoes and

..hunters carry the goats sent for

..you.

Dog days in full rest fled you the

..longest, face fate for bone

..wretches too.

(Last two bars of intro)

Repeat Chorus

Note:

Being an incapable minimalist, I

..left out the fiddling outro.

..Sorry!

Also, there's an incomplete

..version with incorrect

..chords/tab posted,

as I posted my work in progress by

..mistake.
