Widow With A Shawl

Am                               
Dear wind that shakes the barley 
G
free,

Am                               
Blow home my true love's ship to 
G   G/F#     Em
me, fill her sails.

Am                      G
I a-weary wait upon the shore.


Am                          G
Forsake her not in times of storm,

Am                           G    
protect her oaken beams from harm,
 G/F#     Em
 fill her sails.

Am                      G
I a-weary wait upon the shore.


Am                   G
Whether he be in Africa

Am                    G  G/F#    
Or deep asleep in India, fill his 
 Em
dreams,

Am                      G
I a-weary wait upon the shore.

Am                             G
Dear snow white gulls upon the wing,

Am                     G    G/F# 
I, like you, are lamenting, for 
  Em
my love.

Am                      G
I a-weary wait upon the shore.


Am                   G
And in my chariot of sleep,

Am                         G     
I ride the vast and dreamy deep, 
G/F# Em
deep sea.

Am                     G
I awake a-weary on the shore.


Am                         G
For seven years and seven days,

Am                         G     
no man has seen my woman's ways, 
G/F# Em
dear God.

Am                         G
I a-weary cry upon the shore.


Am                        G
Along the shingle beach I go,

Am                     G   G/F# Em
the wind about me as I make my way,

Am                        G
to my weary dream upon my bed.


Am                               
Dear wind that shakes the barley 
G
free,

Am                               
Blow home my true love's ship to 
G   G/F#     Em
me, fill her sails.

Am                      G
I a-weary wait upon the shore.

Am                      G
I a-weary wait upon the shore.
