"Fairy Queen"
by Kenny Klein, 2002

capo i

      Em                                Em  D
1. Midnight glance is silence glazed
G/B     Am           G      Am Em
Misty shroud the leaves entwine
 Em                                      Em D
Long the fruit on bough has blossomed
  G/B   Am      G     Am Em
Laden heavy hangs the vines
 Bm                  Em
Silence still the west wind carries
       Bm                       C        D
The tangy taste of the distant sea
 Em                                         Em D
Dark and deep the nightshade berries
 G/B     Am        G    Am  Em
Twist about the burdened leaf


2. The jingling bells are hardly noticed
First, so heavy is the night
Creeping slowly ever nearer
Bridled mare of deathly white
Now children in their beds of feather
Moan and dream the passing sound
An owl takes flight, a sprig of heather
Spills its burden to the ground


3. Fairy Queen that rides the darkness with
Softly jingling bridle bells
Shadow of the ancient Mother
That on the wind of autumn dwells
Fairy Queen that claims the harvest
Yours the red fruit of the vine
Mab the song is unforgotten
The misty air the leaves entwine.
