FOTHERINGAY
Fairport Convention Songbook 2 / Jan Hauenstein

Intro: Am Dm/F Em Am Dm/F Em Am

C G F Am
How often she has gazed from castle windows o'er,
Em Am G Am
And watched the daylight passing within her captive wall,
Dm Em Am
With no-one to heed her call.

Dm/F Em Am

C G F Am
The evening hour is fading within the dwindling sun,
Em Am G Am
And in a lonely moment, those embers will be gone
Dm Em Am
And the last of all the young birds flown.

Dm/F Em Am

C G F Am
Her days of precious freedom, forfeited long before,
Em Am G Am
To live such fruitless years behind a guarded door.
Dm Em Am
But those days will last no more.

Instrumental: E4 E A Dm G C F E4 E Am F E4 E A Dm G C F E4 E Am F E4 E A

C G F Am
Tomorrow at this hour she will be far away,
Em Am
Much farther than these islands,
G Am
Or the lonely Fotheringay

Am/G Am/F# F Am Dm/F E4 E A Dm G C F E4 E Am F E4 E A
