  D                   G/D              D          G     A      D  
A gardener's daughter stopped me on my way on the day I was to wed, 
       Em        G                Em   A          D  
"It is you who I wish to share my body with", she said, 
        D                G/D       D          G     A     D   
"We'll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed, 
            Em         G                    Em       A   Em A  Em A          D  
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star............on his head."

     D           G/D          D            G     A         F#m Em  D 
Her silver hair flowed in the air, laying waves across the suh-huh-hun, 
    Em                  G                    Em        A        D   
Her hands were like the white sands, and her eyes had dia-monds on, 
    D                G/D    D         G           A       D  
We left the road and headed up to the top of the Whisper Wood, 
       Em             G                 Em       A7    D 
And we walked till we came to where the holy mag-nolia stood. 
  D          G/D          D            G         A      F#m  Bm   Em  A 
There we lay cool in the shade singing songs and making love---, 
         Em             G               Em  A7     D  
With the naked earth beneath us and the universe above.

The time was late my wedding wouldn't wait, I was sad, but I had to go, 
    Em            G                  Em        A7    D  
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheer-io, 
     D                     G/D    D         G     A      D    A  D  B   E   A    D 
The wedding took place and people came from many miles a-round 
Em                G         Em        A      D  
There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound, 
     D              G/D  D          G            A     D  
But, out of all that I recall, I remembered the girl I met, 
       Em                G                Em          A       D  
'Cause she had given me something that my heart could not forget.

A year had passed and everything was just as it was the year before-------- 
      G       A       D  
As it was the year  before, 
  Em                 G              Em     A      D  
Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door,

        Em                  G                    Em       A      D  
They'd never seen anything like the boy with the moon and star before, 
     D                     G/D     D            G        A       D 
And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread, 
       Em            G                      Em     A7         D  
"I'll tell you everything I've learnt, and love is all!", he said.
