[Verse 1]
In the [C]kingdom of Bryneich
Verging on a muddy crook of Coquet
A [E]dice of houses [F#]cast with [E]clay
[F#]and [E]shee[C]pdung
Through a soup of starlit peatsmoke
Gradually emerges as [E]we descend
[C#][C]

[Verse 2]
[F]"Bring the goose my [C]child!"
I carve a notch into the squirming [F#]post
It smells [D]like a smithy
[A]"Hurry now and [D]drink the bowl
[C]befor[F]e it [Eb]cong[C]eals"

[Verse 3]
There comes [C]frightful news from town
Of great evil abound
The heart[E]broken potter's [F#]idiot boy was
[E]snatched from the [C]speltfield
Scouring a fortnight in the hills
All they found, pointing from a sett,
a [E]small [C#]grey hand
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 4]
"Tie the goats to [C]my cot
With tansy rags their [F]faces [C]cover
[F#]Push straws in[D]to the windows
[A]Damp the coals, and [Dm]bar [C]the door with
[Bb]horn[G]beam l[C]imb"

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][F#]

[Verse 5]
[C#]Blinding colours [Eb]leap[F]
[C#]Along bemirrored tower [Eb]walls[F]
[C#]Stretching as [Eb]far as the e[F]ye

[Interlude 2]
can see
[C#][Eb][F][C#][Eb][F]
[C]I am

[Verse 6]
woke in icy beads
By a clamour coming from the
broadbeans
[E]The snapping of [F#]stems and
[E]a foul-smelling [F#]bloom
bloom
[C]Paralysed I watch my child's breath
Glide like a jellyfish across the
[E]black [A]morn[C#] ing[A][C]

[Verse 7]
[C]When the sun is [G]climbing
We'll find the harrow
[Am]smothered [C]in sli[G]me
[C]When the sun is [G]climbing
We'll put it in the [D]dog's [G]noses

[Verse 8]
[C]When the sun is [G]climbing
We'll break upon the [Am]heath[G]
[C]When the sun is [G]climbing
We'll dash across [Am]the
Ringing [G]Meadow

[Verse 9]
[C]When the sun is [G]climbing
We'll weather a storm of
[Am]living [G]needles
[C]When the sun [G]is climbing
We'll tarry by the Pool [D]of [G]Plenty

[Verse 10]
[C]When the sun is [G]climbing
We'll hurry down the Valley
[Am]of Eagles[G][C]
When the sun is [G]climbing
We'll hear the distance
[Am]of the North[G] Sea

[Verse 11]
[C]When the sun is [G]dy ing
We'll cross the Causeway
of [A]No [D]Memory[G]
[C]When the sun is dy[G]ing
Our trees will billow [Am]in dun[G]es

[Verse 12]
[C]When the sun is dy[G]ing
We'll wade around the [Am]shoreline[C][G]
[C]When the sun is dy[G]ing
The algae as a [Am]nap of [G]fire[C]

[Verse 13]
When the sun is dy[G]ing
Below the surface [Am]of the wat[D]er[G]
[C]When the sun is dy[G]ing
In the face of the cliff a
[Am]ghastly door[G]way

[Verse 14]
[C]When the sun is [G]dy ing
We'll pitch a tent of [D]pigskin
[G]on the [C]beach
When the sun is [G]dying
The ebbing tide will [Am]soon [G]rev[F]eal it's sec[G]ret
[D]s
