[INTRO]
[G] [D] [Em] [G] [D] [Em]
[C] [G] [Am] [C] [G] [Am] [C]
[CHORUS]
Come a[G]way, human [D]child to the [Em]water
Come a[G]way, human [D]child to the [Em]water and the wild [C]
With a [G]faery, hand in hand [Am] [C]
For the [G]world's more full of [Am]weeping than [C]you can understand [G]
[Verse] (Spoken)
Where dips the rocky [D]highland[Em] of Sleuth Wood in the lake [G]
There lies a leafy [D]island, where [Em]flapping herons wake
The drowsy water [C]rats [G]
There we've hid our faery [Am]vats
Full of berries[C] [G]
[Am]And of reddest stolen [C]cher[G]ries
[CHORUS]
Come a[G]way, human [D]child to the [Em]water
Come a[G]way, human [D]child to the [Em]water and the wild [C]
With a [G]faery, hand in hand [Am] [C]
For the [G]world's more full of [Am]weeping than [C]you can understand [G]
[Verse] (Spoken)
Where the wave of [D]moonlight glosses the [Em]dim grey sands with light [G]
Far off by [D]furthest Rosses, we [Em]foot it all the night
Weaving olden dances, [C]mingling hands and mingling [G]glances
Till the moon has taken [Am]flight
To and fro we leap[C] and chase the frothy bubbles
[G]While the world is full of troubles [Am]
And is anxious [C]in its sleep
[CHORUS]
Come a[G]way, human [D]child to the [Em]water
Come a[G]way, human [D]child to the [Em]water and the wild [C]
With a [G]faery, hand in hand [Am] [C]
For the [G]world's more full of [Am]weeping than [C]you can understand [G]
[Verse] (Spoken)
Where the [D]wandering water gushes[Em] from the hills above Glen Carr [G]
In pools among the[D] rushes that scarce could bathe a [Em]star
We seek for slumbering [C]trout and whispering in their [G]ears
We give[Am] them unquiet dreams [C]
Leaning softly out from [G]ferns that drop their [Am]tears
Over the young streams [C]
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G] [D] [Em] [G] [D] [Em]
[C] [G] [Am] [C] [G] [Am] [C] [G]
[Verse] (Spoken)
Away with [D]us he's going,[Em] the solemn-eyed [G]
He'll hear no more the [D]lowing of the [Em]calves on the warm hillside [C]
Or the kettle on the [G]hob,[Am] sing peace into his breast
Or [C]see the brown mice [G]bob, a[Am]round and around the [C]oatmeal-chest
[CHORUS]
For he [G]comes, the human [D]child, to the [Em]water
He [G]comes, the human [D]child to the [Em]water and the wild [C]
With a [G]faery, hand in hand [Am] [C]
From a [G]world more full of [Am]weeping than [C]he can understand [G]
