KARELIA'S SONG
Mot's Songbook C G Am Em
1. The baron of Eastmarch's fair sorceress daughter
F C G
Was enamoured unseemly with the fool of her lord
C G Am Em
Though her duke was deemed handsome he was a soul vain and petty
F C G C
And a dark mind as empty as last summer's gourd
G Am Em
And the fool he was clever and he sang for the lady
F C G
Like a nightengale piping in a deep forest grove
C G Am Em
But his station was lowly and his body was aging
F C G C
Their love was as hopeless as if he were stone
C G Am Em
2. So the lady has led them, the fool and her husband,
F C G
To her cool secret garden by the midsummer's moon
C G Am Em
And she's danced them a spell there of shifting and changing
F C G C
And left them dumbfounded by sorcery's boon
G Am Em
She has left the fool crying to the gods of his fathers
F C G
She has led her duke laughing to her high chamber door
C G Am Em
And she's kept him there softly through two days bright dawnings
F C G C
While her servants all gossip in wonder and awe
C G Am Em
3. Now the fool died in madness saying he was ensorcelled
F C G
And the duke only smiled him a sad secret smile
C G Am Em
Now the duke rules his people with wit and good humour
F C G C
And sings for the lady like the nightengale's song
G Am Em
And she's borne him five children, two sons and three daughters
F C G
They've grown straight and handsome and sorcerous all
C G Am Em
And they dance in the garden and sing in the moonlight
F C G C
Like nightengales piping in green forest halls
