Key: G
Introduction:
G
I saw your daughter yesterday
A Bm
as I was idle on the porch
A G
she slept-walked from your house down the walkway
A Bm
as though she'd done it all before
A G
and the moon was out
A BmA GA BmA G
and in her gown beside the riverbed
A Bm
she got down on her knees
A G
and wrapped her long hair up in vines, and leaves, and branches
A Bm
and with the wind beneath her feet
oh, she waltzed with the dead
D
and everything was bathed
C Em
in light white as milk
G
as the impossible began
D C
she danced across the water's edge
Em G
but her feet, they didn't sink
D C Em D G
as though she flew
D
I ran out in the water
A
with a lantern in my hand
G
I was waste deep and shivering
I took her wrist and walked her in
D
I was loathe to interrupt her
A
but I had to get her home
G D
if people were to see this they'd gather up, raise hell and burn her alive
G
don't you mind, don't you mind
she'll be fine
D
as though she were mine
