VERSE 1
    D                               G                            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,

"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."

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             G                  A          D
We left the road and headed up to the top of the Whisper Wood,
                Em               G                          Em             A        D
And we walked till we came to where the holy mag-nolia stood.
    D                 G                D                G                 A         F#m Bm Em A D
There we lay cool in the shade singing songs and making love,
                Em                   G                      Em A          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           A        D
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheer-io,

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              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.

As it was the year before,

Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door,
       D                      G                  D      G       A        D
And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed
   Em                        G                               Em      A Em A Em     A              D
I got down on my knees and kissed the moon & star        Woh, oh-oh, on his head.

And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread,

"I'll tell you everything I've learnt, and love is all!", he said.
