Elfrida Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bb][Em]
[F#]

[Verse 1]
[D]One
midsummer past long ago
My [G]family came to dance a baller
[D]Filled until the dawn chorus [G]sang
From a [A]lone cottage nearby
A [D]girlhood caught my eye
And it dared to enter the open [G]plain
But [Em]now it's been so long
I [A]have to sing this song
[D]And it's Elfrida, long lost lady of the fai[G]r
[Em]Oh, El[F#m]frida,
I was [D]with you [G]every [D]day[A]
[Em]Could you see, in a cherry tree,
the [Dm]thrush that sang,
all my life together,
the [Em]song I sang to you,
held like my [Am]hand.
The [Em]shield held, before your heart,
the [Dm]bread white hand,
my dear servant companion,
in [C]all these years you've never
been [E]alone.[D][Bb][Em]
[F#]
We [D]rushed across the threshold wide
The [G]briar roses to abide
From [D]then on I'd be his [G]bride
For [A]three big summer's morn
My [D]family shook the window door
Crying, sighing, come [G]away
And [Em]now it's been so long
I [A]have to sing this song
[D]And it's Elfride, long lost lady of my [G]faith
Oh, [Em]Elfride, [F#m]I was
[D]with you [G]every [D]day[A]
[D]And it's Elfride, long lost lady of my fai[G]th
Oh [F#m]Elfride, I was [D]with you [G]every [D]day
You
