   Dm Am

Verse:
  Am
a young man walked through the forest
                    G       Am
With his quiver and hunting bow
                      Dm
He heard a young girl singing
    Am           Em      Am
And followed the sound below
                   Dm
There he found the maiden
    Am           Em Am
Who lives in the willow

Verse:
   Am
He called to her as she listened

From a ring of toadstools red
                  Dm
"Come with me, my maiden
     Am       Em     Am
Come from thy willow bed"
                    Dm
She looked at him serenely
    Am   G         Am
And only shook her head

Chorus:
     Em Am
"See me now

a ray of light in the moondance
    Em Am
See me now
         Em         Am
I cannot leave this place
     Em Am
Hear me now

a strain of song in the forest
      F   C
Don't ask me
          Dm        Em
To follow where you lead"

Verse:
Am
a young man walked through the forest

With a flower and coat of green
                       Dm
His love had hair like fire
    Am      G       Am
Her eyes an emerald sheen
                       Dm
She wrapped herself in beauty
   Am        G    Am
So young and so serene

Verse:
   Am
He stood there under the willow

And he gave her the yellow bloom
                       Dm
"Girl, my heart you've captured
    Am      Em      Am
Oh, I would be your groom"
                       Dm
She said she'd wed him never
    Am        G        Am
Not near, nor far, nor soon

Chorus:
     Em Am
"See me now

a ray of light in the moondance
    Em Am
See me now
         Em         Am
I cannot leave this place
     Em Am
Hear me now

a strain of song in the forest
      F   C
Don't ask me
                    Em     C     Em  Am
To follow where you lead"
                   -follow where you lead-
                     Dm
Hey-ey Hey-ey Hey-ey Hey-ey

Verse:
Am
A young man walked through the forest
                  G    Am
With an axe sharp as a knife
                          Dm
"I'll take the green-eyed fairy
    Am        G     Am
And she shall be my wife
                       Dm
With her I'll raise my children
     Am       G       Am
With her I'll live my life"

Verse:
    Am
The maiden wept when she heard him
                  G       Am
When he said he'd set her free
                    Dm
He took his axe and used it
   Am             G       Am
To bring down her ancient tree
                   Dm
"Now your willow's fallen
    Am    G       Am
Now you belong to me"

Chorus:
     G  F    G
"See me now
  F      G            Dm
a ray of light in the moondance
Am  G  F     G
See me now
  F      G          Dm
I cannot leave this place
Am   Em Am
Hear me now
            G           Am
a strain of song in the forest
          C
Don't ask me
          Dm        Em     Abm Am Abm Am
To follow where you lead"

Verse:
    Am
She followed him out the forest
                Dm     Am
And collapsed upon the earth

Her feet had walked but a distance
         G                 Am
From the green land of her birth

Verse:
    Am
She faded into a flower
                     Dm         Am
That would bloom for one bright eve

He could not take from the forest
               G          Am
What was never meant to leave
