D[G]own in the Valley of H[D]ollow Logs
Two lovers lay in the w[A]eeds
S[G]afe in the net of their sw[D]eaty arms
Safe from the w[A]ind in the tr[D]ees
My l[G]ove, said the boy, you're the cl[D]ear blue sky
You're the air I gulp to br[A]eathe
I f[G]eel you rushing thr[D]ough my veins
Like the wind rushing thr[A]ough the tr[D]ees
My l[G]ove, said the girl, you're my s[D]ecret pearl
You're a string of tiny glass b[A]eads
You're a b[G]urning star I k[D]eep in a jar
Safe from the w[A]ind in the tr[D]ees

D[G]own in the Valley of H[D]ollow Logs
Two lovers lay back in the w[A]eeds
L[G]istening to the howl of h[D]unting dogs
And the wind howling thr[A]ough the tr[D]ees
Then [G]insects ran for the [D]underbrush
As the wind filled the air with dead l[A]eaves
And [G]every stone turned sl[D]owly to dust
As the wind tore thr[A]ough the tr[D]ees

(Bass arr. for guitar)
So the yo[G]ung girl pierced her l[D]ily-white breast
Her blood poured over dark w[A]eeds
A s[G]ilver dagger through h[D]er burning heart
Cold as the w[A]ind in the tr[D]ees
Then the b[G]oy picked up that bl[D]oody knife
And stove it through his ch[A]est
Farew[G]ell, farewell to the w[D]ind and the trees
I'll die with the o[A]ne I love b[D]est
