Nine Stone Rig chords

CAPO: 4th Fret

[INTRO]
[G] [C] [G] [C]

[VERSE 1]
They [G]shot him dead at the nine stone rig, be[F]side the headless [G]cross
And they left him lying in his blood, u[F]pon the moor and the [G]moss
They buried him at midnight and the [F]dew fell cold and [G]still
And the women in grey for god to pray, and the [F]mist clung to the [G]hill

[VERSE 2]
Oh, gentle wind that's blowing south from [F]where my love re[G]pairs
Convey a kiss from his dear mouth and [F]tell me how he [G]fairs
The [F]word was carried back to me as if by god's com[G]mand
Your sweetheart was murdered yesterday by [F]your brother's jealous [G]hand

[VERSE 3]
No living man I'll love again since my [F]darling went through [G]death's door
With one lock of his yellow hair, I'll [F]chain my heart for[G]ever more
Oh, [F]mother dear, please make my bed and lay me down in [G]sorrow
My love, he died for me last night, and I'll [F]die for him to[G]morrow

[BRIDGE]
My love, he died for me last night, and I'll [F]die for him to[G]morrow


[VERSE 4]
They [G]shot him dead at the nine stone rig, be[F]side the headless [G]cross
And they left him lying in his blood, u[F]pon the moor and the [G]moss
They buried him at midnight and the [F]dew fell cold and [G]still
And the women in grey for god to pray, and the [F]mist clung to the [G]hill
And the women in gray for god to pray, and the [F]mist clung to the [G]hill
