How often she has gazed from het castle windows all
G Am
And watched the daylight passing
Em Am
Within her captive walls
Dm Em Am
With no one to heed her calls
Am C F C
The evening hour is fading with the dwindling sun
G Am
And in these lonely moments
Em Am
Those embers will be gone
Dm Em Am
And the last of all the young birds flown
Am C F C
Her days of precious freedom forfeited long before
G Am
To live those fruitless years
Em Am
Behind a guarded door
Dm Em Am
But those days last no more
[Interlude]
Am Dm G C F Dm Em Am (x2)
Am C F C
Tommorow at this hour she will be far away
G Am
Much further than these islands
G Am
For the lonely fotheringay
