Highland Reaper (mostly but not all borrowed from a Wordsworth poem. However, some of the words are based on my experiences, that's for sure)
v1
C F
behold her, single in the field,
C G
scattered highland reaper,,
c F
alone she cuts and binds the grain
g C
and sings a melacholy strain
v2
will no one tell me what she sings
perhaps of plaintive far off things
or some more humbe pain
which may be or be again
chorus
dm em
she wears a coat of blue
f g
oh too deep, oh too true
dm em
f g
more than I can find
V3
F C
she sang her song as it had no ending
as when she cut and binds the grain
and I listened motionless and still
as the song came through the hills
V4
when I think over those days
through the earth’s fire and flame
the music echoing tthrough the trees
and the song came through the hills
