A                          D       G
In the dark green woods, when the sun was high
        A    G      A
I saw a lady riding by
                 G        D      A
She had flashing eyes and golden hair
         G      Em      A
She rode upon a dappled mare


[Verse 2]
       A                        D          G
In the dark green woods, by the last birds call
             A       G            A
There came a soldier straight and tall
             G         D       A
He found his true love waiting there
                  G             Em     A
And he kissed her eyes, and her golden hair


[Verse 3]
       A                        D       G
In the dark green woods, by the evening star
        A       G       A
I saw a soldier ride to war
         G     D      A
He never would return again
            G       Em     A
For in some battle, he was slain


[Verse 4]
       A                     D      G
In the dark green woods, the people said
              A         G        A
She heard the news, her love was dead
              G          D   A
But still she waited for him there
             G      Em     A
With flowers in her golden hair


[Verse 5]
       A                        D         G
In the dark green woods, by the pale moon light
             A      G     A
A ghost goes riding every night.
               G         D      A
She has golden hair, the people say
             G        Em     A
And talks to shadows, on her way.
