Widow With A Shawl

Donovan Leitch

 AmG
 Dear wind that shakes the barley free,

 AmGG/F#Em
 Blow home my true love's ship to me, fill her sails.

 AmG
 I a-weary wait upon the shore.

 AmG
 Forsake her not in times of storm,

 AmGG/F#Em
 protect her oaken beams from harm, fill her sails.

 AmG
 I a-weary wait upon the shore.

 AmG
 Whether he be in Africa

 AmGG/F#Em
 Or deep asleep in India, fill his dreams,

 AmG
 I a-weary wait upon the shore.

 AmG
 Dear snow white gulls upon the wing,

 AmGG/F#Em
 I, like you, are lamenting, for my love.

 AmG
 I a-weary wait upon the shore.

 AmG
 And in my chariot of sleep,

 AmGG/F#Em
 I ride the vast and dreamy deep, deep sea.

 AmG
 I awake a-weary on the shore.

 AmG
 For seven years and seven days,

 AmGG/F#Em
 no man has seen my woman's ways, dear God.

 AmG
 I a-weary cry upon the shore.

 AmG
 Along the shingle beach I go,

 AmGG/F#Em
 the wind about me as I make my way,

 AmG
 to my weary dream upon my bed.

 AmG
 Dear wind that shakes the barley free,

 AmGG/F#Em
 Blow home my true love's ship to me, fill her sails.

 AmG
 I a-weary wait upon the shore.

 AmG
 I a-weary wait upon the shore.
