        C       G         F            C 
What a hideous forest surrounded Whitehaven 
  Em           Am         F                G 
Twisted black mountains, wolves howled in madness 
 C       G          F              C 
Never I ventured beyond the stone tower 
    Em               Am                F           G          C 
As dusk spread her black wings at the edge of the dark wild wood 

        C       G         F            C 
But one windy evening, gathering timbers 
Em          Am             F         G 
Under white elm trees in shadows, I saw her 
     C           G                F          C 
The darkest of beauties with her basket of cherries 
     Em          Am                   F            G          C   C/B 
The wind at her black skirt like the hands of the wild dark wood

     C             G         F          C 
She turned in her terror, a madness possessed us 
     Em         Am              F             G 
In shadow she clawed me, we screamed in the brambles 
 C            G            F           C 
Hunters came running with torches and axes 
  Em         Am             F                G          C 
Treetop to treetop, flames tore through the dark wild wood 

 C               G         F              C 
Back down they dragged us past the stone towers 
      Em               Am           F                G 
The church bells were ringing, the sky screamed in flashes 
         C            G          F            C 
But we stood in the churchyard laughing like jackals 
        Em           Am          F            G         Am 
As the stone towers tumbled and bowed to the wild dark wood
