Loom Of The Land Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
It [Em]was the dirty end of winter
Along the loom of the [G]land
When I walked with sweet [D]Henry[C]
Hand [Em]upon hand

[Verse 2]
And the wind it bit [Em]bitter
For a girl of no [G]means
With no shoes on her [D]feet[C]
And a knife in her jeans
[Em]

[Verse 3]
Along the loom of the land
The mission [G]bells peeled
From the tower at Saint [D]Mary's[C]
Down to Reprobate [Em]Fields

[Verse 4]
And I saw (that) the [Em]world
(Was) all blessed an[G]d bright
And Henry breathed [D]softly[C]
In the [Em]majestic night

[Verse 5]
O baby please [D]don't cry
And try to [Em]keep
Your little [D]head upon my [C]shoulder
Now we'll go [Em]to sleep

[Verse 6]
The elms and [Em]the poplars
Were turning their [G]backs
Past the rumbling sta[D]tion[C]
We followed their [Em]tracks

[Verse 7]
My hands they [Em]burned
In the folds of [G]his coat
Breathing milky white [D]air[C]
From deep in his [Em]throat

[Verse 8]
O baby please [D]don't cry
And try to [Em]keep
Your little [D]head upon my [C]shoulder
Now we'll go [Em]to sl[C]eep[Em]

[Verse 9]
[C]I t[Em]old h[C]im[Em] the moon
Was [G]a magical thing
That it shone gold [D]in [C]winter
And silver in [Em]spring

[Verse 10]
And we walked and we [Em]walked
Across the endless [G]sands
Just me and my [D]Henry
[C]Along the loom of the lan[Em]d

[Verse 11]
O baby please [D]don't cry
And try to [Em]keep
O baby please [D]don't cry
And try to [Em]keep
Your little [D]head upon my [C]shoulder
Now we'll go [Em]to sleep
