Intro: G
Verse 1:
[Em]Margaret arrayed the rocks around the hull before it was s[G]inking
Em G (or play Riff 1)
A million stones, a million bones, a million holes within the chinking
[Am]And painting rings around your [C]eyes these peppered holes
G (or play Riff 2)
So filled with crying
[Am]A whisper weighed upon the t[C]attered down where you and I were l[G]ying
Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
[Em]Tell me now, tell me this, A forest's son, a river's d[G]aughter
Em G (or play Riff 1)
A willow on the willow wisp, our ghosts will wander all of the water
Am C G (or play Riff 2)
So let's be married here today these rushing waves to bare our witness
[Am]And we will lie like river s[C]tones rolling only where it ta[G]kes us [Em] [D]
Chorus:
But [C]I pulled you and [Am]I called you [G]here (Di[Em]dnā??t I, didnā?[D]?t I, didnā??t I?)
And [Am]I caught you and [C]I brought you [G]here (D[Em]idnā??t I......

Verse 3: (use verse 2 chords)
Oh Margaret the lapping waves are licking quietly at our ankles
another bow another breath this brilliant chills come for the shackle
With this long last rush of air we speak our vows and sorry whispers
when the waves came crashing down, he closed his eyes and softly kissed her
Chorus: (use above chorus chords)
But I pulled you and I called you here,
And I caught you and I brought you here
These hazards of love, never more will trouble us.
And these hazards of love, never more will trouble us.
