The Mourning Tree

Am            G         F       
I passed the day at the mourning
    E
 tree,
Am            G      F         E
Where the river's sorrows run deep
Am            G     F      E
And all at once a host of birds
       C         D         Am
Did settle and nest around me

Am         G        F          E
In their song, I heard your song
Am              G       Am
I heard the bomber's drone
Am              G               
beneath those birds and the 
F       E
swaying wheat
    C          D      Am
I heard you coming home

Am      G         F        E
Oh my love where did you fly?
Am          G          Am
After you came home to me
Am              G       F         E
Like the nightjar you left me here
    C           D          Am
To nest in the mourning tree.
