B B
On a dreary night he met a woman down
Em Em
By the water side
B B
Drawn by her weeping song,
Em Em
Even the wind was humming along
B B Em
And all the trees were moving
B B
To the sound she was producing
B
He watched her sing,
Em/G Em C
Feeling her song might be meant for him
[Chorus]
Bm A
She weeps oh she weeps
E7/G# E
It's death that she foresees
Bm A
The cry of a banshee,
E7/G# Em/G
Cry of a banshee-
Bm A E7/G# Em/G
Eee, Ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee eee
A F#m E
O-o-o o-o-o oh oh
A C#m C
O-o-o o-o-o oh oh oh

On a dreary night
Em B
He met a woman all dressed in misty white

He walked towards her and he asked:

Suddenly

Her melancholic melody

Felt no longer serene
Em/G Em C
And turned into a piercing scream
