Crane Wife 2 chords

[D]

[D]My crane wife arr[C]ived at my [G]door in the [D]moonlight

All [C]star-bright and [G]tongue tied I took her [D]in

[D]We were married and [C]bells rang [G]sweet for our [D]wedding

And our [C]bedding was [G]ready when we fell [D]in

[CHORUS]

[Em]Sound the keening be[A]ll and see it's painted [Em]red

Soft as fonta[A]nel, the feathers in the [G]thread

When all I ever me[A]ant to [C]do was to [G]keep you

[D] [G] [D] [C]
My[D] crane wife, my crane wife, my crane wife

[D]We were poorly, our [C]fortunes [G]fading [D]hourly

And [C]how she [G]vowed me she could bring it [D]back

[D]But I was greedy I was va[C]in and I [G]forced her to [D]weaving

On [C]cold loom in [G]closed room with down [D]wove

[Em]Sound the keening be[A]ll and see it's painted [Em]red

Soft as fonta[A]nel, the feathers in the [G]thread

When all I ever me[A]ant to [C]do was to [G]keep you

[D] [G] [D] [C]
My[D] crane wife, my crane wife, my crane wife

[Em]There's a bend in the wind and it [F]rakes at my heart

[Em]There is blood in the thread and it [F]rakes at my heart

[G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C]
Ra[C]kes at my heart, heart, heart, heart


[G] [G] [C] [C] (x2)

[G]Heart, [C]heart, [G]heart, [C]heart, [G]heart, [C]heart[G] , heart[C] , heart

My [D]crane wife
