village song chords and lyrics - PARIS PALOMA

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]The farmer's wife[C]
cooks at the win[F]dow
In that small [G]cottage under the wil[C]low
Over [Am]the river, so freezing, so cold
[F]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
In that white [C]house up on the hill
[F]Where a man saw a way [G]out
And took it he [C]did
A fam[Am]ily moved in
I don't think [F]they know

[Verse 3]
And [F]the blackberry juice drips
like [C]blood on the leaves
And the [Am]blood on the fox drips
like [G]dew from its teeth
And the [F]dew in the field falls like [C]petals,
so sweet
And [Am]the petals they fall and
turn [G]brown at my [Dm]feet[Am]
[C]And the rhythms of aut[G]umn wash
[Dm]over me
[Am][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
When I re[C]turn from my city to [F]home
I pass by [G]the churchyard
He's standing [C]alone
That eld[Am]erly man whose wife
I [F]did know

[Verse 5]
[Am]
Her mother, grand[C]mother,
great- grandmother [F]too
All sleep side [G]by side beneath
the green [C]dew
That eld[Am]erly man thinks that
he'll join [F]them soon

[Verse 6]
And the [F]apples they fall like
[C]the shells from the guns
And the [Am]shotgun it misses
[G]the hare when he runs
And he [F]moves like the wind
with cold [C]air in his lungs
And his [Am]little warm heart beats in
[G]fear like [Dm]a drum
[Am][C]

[Verse 7]
[G]
And [F]the night it draws in like
the [C]hand that will fall
With its scythen black cur[Am]tain
make [G]tombs of us all
And the [F]sun's little visits are
[C]starting to shorten
And the village [Am]it lives through
the [G]rhythms of autumn

[Verse 8]
And [G]the creatures die at
[C]the hand of those who kill
[G]And the leaves will dec[Am]ay
[G]by the winters that chill
And [F]some will pass on by
their [C]own desperate will
Just [Am]like that man in [G]the white
house on the hill

[Verse 9]
And the [F]blackberry juice drips
like [C]blood on the leaves
And the [Am]blood on the fox drips
like [G]dew from its teeth
And the dew [F]in the field falls like [C]petals,
so sweet
And [Am]the petals they fall and turn
[G]brown at my [Dm]feet[Am]

[Verse 10]
[C]And the rhythms of wat[G]er
wash [Dm]over [Am]me
[C]And the rhy[G]thms of water watch ove[Am]r me
