Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Wandering Aengus
G |
I WENT out to the hazel wood, |
Am | C | D | G |
Because a | fire was | in my | head, |
| Em | G |
And cut and | peeled a | hazel wand, |
| Am | C | D |
And | hooked a | berry to a | thread; |
| D7 | D |
And | when white moths were on the | wing, |
| G | Em | G |
And | moth-like | stars were | flickering out, |
| Am | C | D |
I | dropped the | berry in a | stream |
| D | G |
And | caught a little silver | trout. |
When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire aflame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And some one called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.
Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lads and hilly lands.
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.
