I Am Streched On Your Grave
[Verse 1]
Am G
I am stretched on your grave
C Em
And I'll lie here forever
Am G
If your hands were in mine
C Em
I'd be sure they would not sever
Am G
My apple tree my brightness
C Em
It's time we were together
Am G
For I smell of the earth
C Em
And am worn by the weather
[Verse 2]
Am G
When my family think
C Em
That I'm safely in my bed
Am G
From night until morn
C Em
I am stretched at your head
Am G
Calling out to the earth
C Em
With tears hot and wild
Am G
For the loss of a girl
C Em
That I loved as a child
[Verse 3]
Am G
Do you remember the night
C Em
Oh, the night when we were lost
Am G
In the shade of the blackthorn
C Em
And the torch of of the frost
Am G
Thanks be to Jesus
C Em
We did what was right
Am G
And your maidenhead still
C Em
Is your pillar of light
[Verse 4]
Am G
The priests and the friars
C Em
They approach me in dread
Am G
Because I still love you
C Em
My love and you're dead
Am G
I still would be your shelter
C Em
Through rain and through storm
Am G
And with you in your cold grave
C Em
I cannot sleep warm
[Verse 5]
Am G
So I'm all stretched on your grave
C Em
And I'll lie here forever
Am G
If your hands were in mine
C Em
I'd be sure they would not sever
Am G
My apple tree my brightness
C Em
It's time we were together
Am G
For I smell of the earth
C Em
And am worn by the weather
