Standard (EADGBE)

There is also another chord which is like a D so I'll call it D*.

It is played by :

The Tower - Chris de Burgh

A great lord came walking through the forest one morning

 With a weapon in his hand

 Rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing

 Killing was his plan

 When a white bird flew by, she fell from the sky

 Nothing was found, only blood on the ground, she was gone

Cursing his fortune, he turned to the forest to kill once again

 Standing before him was a lovely young woman with her head hung in pain

 When he saw her, his eyes were filled with desire

 He said "I must have her, she must be mine

 She will be mine"

He offered her silver, he offered her gold

 But she threw it on the ground

 He fell to his knees and he begged her, "Oh please

 Come with me, what you wish will be found"

 She said, "Sir, I'll go if you'll put up your bow

 Spare these creatures, leave them in peace

 You have no need

 But her words were lost in the wind

 His eyes were fixed on a queen

 All he saw was a woman and all she was, was a dream

Other verses :

He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her

To his castle he did ride

In the wood was a bower where stood an an old tower

And he threw her deep inside

And the birds left the sky and a terrible cry

Brought thunder and lightning, rain falling down

Tears on the ground

All through the days on her face he would gaze

For she was lovely as the spring

No words would she speaketh but leave them in peace

And some sad lament she would sing

One day by the door, through the window he saw

A single white feather lying on the floor

She was there no more

Now that great lord is dying, his cold heart is crying

For the love of a girl

For many an hour he has wept on the tower

For she meant more than the world

One day in the sky a white bird flew by

He lifted his hands, he cried out in pain

Come back again

But his words were lost in the wind

His castle was built upon sand

All he saw was her memory

And all he yearned was her hand

Da aa

All she was, was a memory

And all he yearned was her hand

Any comments/corrections appreciated. I'd also like to know the name of the

 chord *.
