The Maiden Hind Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[F#7] [A]

[VERSE]
The [Bm]mother to her [F#]son did say
[G]In the green[F#m]wood
The [E7]little hind thou [A]shalt not slay
That [D]bears the band of [A]gold

[VERSE]
You may [Bm]slay the hart and [E]shoot the doe
[D]In the green[C#m]wood
But the [Bm]little hind thou [A]must let go
That [D]bears the band of [A]gold

[VERSE]
Sir [Bm]Peter rode in [F#]greenwood bound
[G]In the green[F#m]wood
And the [E7]little hind played be[A]fore his hound
That [D]bears the band of [A]gold

[VERSE]
The [Bm]little hind sported its [E]feet before
[D]In the green[C#m]wood
And he [Bm]thought on his mother's [A]words no more
That [D]bears the band of [A]gold

[VERSE]
He [Bm]spanned his crossbow with [F#]hand and knee
[G]In the green[F#m]wood
And he [E7]shot the hind be[A]side a tree
That [D]bears the band of [A]gold

[VERSE]
His [Bm]gloves from off his [E]hands he drew
[D]In the green[C#m]wood
To [Bm]flay the hind with[A]out ado
That [D]bears the band of [A]gold

[VERSE]
Her [Bm]neck he flayed and [F#]shining there
[G]In the green[F#m]wood
[E7]Was his sister's [A]golden hair
That [D]bears the band of [A]gold

[VERSE]
[Bm]He has found in her [E]bosom cold
[D]In the green[C#m]wood
His [Bm]little sister's [A]rings of gold
That [D]bears the band of [A]gold

[VERSE]
[Bm]In her side with [F#]sore affright
[G]In the green[F#m]wood
[E7]He has found her [A]hands so white
That [D]bears the band of [A]gold

[VERSE]
His [Bm]hunting-knife to the [E]ground he threw
[D]In the green[C#m]wood
Now [Bm]has my mother's [A]tale come true!
That [D]bears the band of [A]gold

[VERSE]
[Bm]Cold on the river [F#]falleth the rime
[G]In the green[F#m]wood
There's [E7]luck for the lad who can [A]take it in time
That [D]bears the band of [A]gold

[VERSE]
[Bm]Far the crane flieth [E]up in the sky
[D]In the green[C#m]wood
[Bm]Lucky the lad who from [A]trouble can fly!
That [D]bears the band of [A]gold
