[INTRO]

[Am] [Dm] [Am] [C] [Dm] [Em]

[Dm] [Am]

[VERSE]

A [Am]young man walked through the forest
With his quiver and [G]hunting [Am]bow
He heard a young girl [Dm]singing
And [Am]followed the [Em]sound be[Am]low
There he found the [Dm]maiden
Who [Am]lives in the [Em]wil[Am]low

[VERSE]

He [Am]called to her as she listened

From a ring of toadstools red
"Come with me, my [Dm]maiden
Come [Am]from thy [Em]willow [Am]bed"
She looked at him se[Dm]renely
And [Am]only [G]shook her [Am]head

[CHORUS]

"See [Em]me [Am]now

A ray of light in the moondance
See [Em]me [Am]now
I cannot [Em]leave this [Am]place
Hear [Em]me [Am]now

A strain of song in the forest
Don't [F]ask [C]me
To follow [Dm]where you [Em]lead"

[VERSE]

[Am]A young man walked through the forest

With a flower and coat of green
His love had hair like [Dm]fire
Her [Am]eyes an [G]emerald [Am]sheen
She wrapped herself in [Dm]beauty
So [Am]young and [G]so se[Am]rene

[VERSE]

He [Am]stood there under the willow

And he gave her the yellow bloom
"Girl, my heart you've [Dm]captured
Oh, [Am]I would [Em]be your [Am]groom"
She said she'd wed him [Dm]never
Not [Am]near, nor [G]far, nor [Am]soon

[CHORUS]

"See [Em]me [Am]now

A ray of light in the moondance
See [Em]me [Am]now
I cannot [Em]leave this [Am]place
Hear [Em]me [Am]now

A strain of song in the forest
Don't [F]ask [C]me
To follow where you [Em]lead" [C] [Em] [Am]
-follow where you lead-
Hey-ey Hey-ey Hey-ey [Dm]Hey-ey

[VERSE]

[Am]A young man walked through the forest
With an axe sharp [G]as a [Am]knife
"I'll take the green-eyed [Dm]fairy
And [Am]she shall [G]be my [Am]wife
With her I'll raise my [Dm]children
With [Am]her I'll [G]live my [Am]life"

[VERSE]

The [Am]maiden wept when she heard him
When he said he'd [G]set her [Am]free
He took his axe and [Dm]used it
To [Am]bring down her [G]ancient [Am]tree
"Now your willow's [Dm]fallen
Now [Am]you be[G]long to [Am]me"

[CHORUS]

"See [G]me [F]now [G]
A [F]ray of [G]light in the [Dm]moondance
[Am]See [G]me [F]now [G]
I [F]cannot [G]leave this [Dm]place
[Am]Hear [Em]me [Am]now
A strain of [G]song in the [Am]forest
Don't ask [C]me
To follow [Dm]where you [Em]lead" [Abm] [Am] [Abm] [Am]

[VERSE]

She [Am]followed him out the forest
And collapsed up[Dm]on the [Am]earth

Her feet had walked but a distance
From the [G]green land of her [Am]birth

[Verse]

She [Am]faded into a flower
That would bloom for [Dm]one bright [Am]eve

He could not take from the forest
What was never [G]meant to leave
