Antlered Crown And Standing Stone

E B F#m A

[Verse 1]
E                          B
  I am the face within the leaves,
                          F#m
I am the voice within the trees,
              A
I am boy, I am man,
    E
The face of the changing land,
E                                B
   And I have been your constant guide,
                               F#m
From your caves on the mountainside,
                     A
We have walked hand in hand.

[Verse 2]
E                            B
  And everywhere that I have been,
                             F#m
My passing turns the grey to green,
                      A
The birds sing to the dawn,
                  E
And the land has awoken.
E
  Now my Lady lays with me,
B                        F#m
Our love weaves its tapestry,
                   A  B
Eternal threads, unbroken.

[Chorus]
     E
I am lover, I am father,
     A              E
I am Horned God and King,
        E
I’m the life in all of Nature,
        A            E
That is reborn every Spring,
        C#m             A
Call of stag and cry of eagle,
     E              B
I am Child of Barleycorn,
E     C#m             A                  E
And I am the Antlered Crown and Standing Stone!

E B F#m A

[Verse 3]
E                              B
   I am the oats, the corn and grain,
                             F#m
A bearded man with a crooked cane,
                  A
Cut me down, I must die,

For the land to be born again,
E                                 B
  But don’t you cry and don’t you grieve,
                         F#m
For soon the Wild Hunt I will lead,
                A  B
On the night of Samhain.

[Chorus]
     E
I am lover, I am father,
     A              E
I am Horned God and King,
        E
I’m the life in all of Nature,
        A            E
That is reborn every Spring,
        C#m             A
Call of stag and cry of eagle,
     E              B
I am Child of Barleycorn,
E     C#m             A                  E
And I am the Antlered Crown and Standing Stone!

[Verse 4]
E                            B
  The air is cold, the sky is grey,
                         F#m
Where am I this Winter’s day,
                    A
Bones of trees, fallen leaves,
            E
The time of the Winter Queen,
E                                   B
  But through the wind and snow and rain,
                    F#m
Know a part of me remains,
                      A  B  E  B
The Holly stands, evergreen

[Chorus]
     E
I am lover, I am father,
     A              E
I am Horned God and King,
        E
I’m the life in all of Nature,
        A            E
That is reborn every Spring,
        C#m             A
Call of stag and cry of eagle,
     E              B
I am Child of Barleycorn,
E     C#m             A                  E  B F#m A
And I am the Antlered Crown and Standing Stone!
         E  B F#m A
Standing Stone!
