[Verse 1]
(WB Yeat[G]s)
Come away, human [D]child
to the [Em]water
Come [G]away, human [D]child
to the [Em]water and [C]the wild
With a [G]fairy, hand in [Am]hand[C]
for the [G]world's more full of [Am]weeping
than you [C]can understand
[G]Where

[Verse 2]
dips the [D]rocky highland
[Em]of Sleuth Wood in the lake
[G]There lies a lea[D]fy island
where [Em]flapping herons wake
The drowsy [C]water [G]rats;
there we've hid our fairy [Am]vats
Full of [C]berries[G]
[Am]and of reddest stolen cher[C]ries

[Verse 3]
Come [G]away, human [D]child
to the [Em]water
Come away, human [D]child
to the [Em]water and [C]the wild
With a [G]fairy, hand in [Am]hand[C]
for the [G]world's more full of [Am]weeping
than you can [C]un [G]derstand

[Verse 4]
Where [D]the wave of moonlight [Em]glosses
the dim gray sands with light
[G]Far off by furthest Ros[D]ses
we foot [Em]it all the night
Weaving olden dances
[C]mingling hands and mingling [G]glances
Till the moon has [Am]taken flight;
to and fro we leap
And chase [C]the frothy bubbles
[G]while the world is full of [Am]troubles
And is anxious [C]in its sleep

[Verse 5]
Come [G]away, human [D]child
to the [Em]water
Come [G]away, human [D]child
to the [Em]water and [C]the wild
With a [G]fairy, hand in [Am]hand[C]
for the [G]world's more full of [Am]weeping
than [C]you can [G]understand

[Verse 6]
Where the wan[D]dering water gushes
[Em]from the hills above Glen- Car
In [G]pools among the rushes
[D]the scarce could bathe a sta[Em]r
We seek for slumbering [C]trout
and whispering in [G]their ears
We give them [Am]unquiet [C]dreams;
leaning softly out
From [G]ferns that drop their tears
[Am]over the young [C]streams

[Verse 7]
Away with us [D]he's [Em]going
[G]the solemn- eyed:
He'll [Baug]hear no [G]more the lowin[D]g
[Em]of the calves on the warm
[C]hillside;
Or the kettle on [G]the hob
[Am]sing peace into his breast
[C]Or see the [G]brown [Am]mi[C][G]
