E                Bm*                 E              Bm* Ex2                                  Bm*
 I was walking through the forest, one cold and dreary morn, and my heart, sick with jealousy
        E             Bm*  Ex2                         Bm*       E     Bm*          E
And memories I need no more, No I would never kill a man, But I would do him harm
E          Bm*               E      Bm* E
Knowing that you're there, lying in his arms

E         Bm*                    E       Bm*            Ex2                           Bm*
My flesh was ripped and torn, by the bramble and the thorn, I was lost but well prepared
E        Bm* Ex2                           Bm*         E        Bm*  E
To offer up my soul, because the greater misery, Is to live with what I know



[Solo]    G    Bm    Ex2    G    Bm    Ex2


E                             Bm*          E           Bm*  Ex2                       Bm*
The moon concealed by April's storm, No bearing I could find, until I fell into a clearing
       E      Bm*    Ex2                         Bm*      E       Bm*      E
And a road I recognized, I was far, far from my home, Further from her smile
 E             Bm*              E        Bm*      E
Not sure if I would return, Or just lay down and die
