Thread Name: Chords Req: Two Magicians
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: TWO MUSICIANS (from Steeleye Span)
I play a (simplified) version as performed by Steeleye Span that reads thus:

    THE TWO MAGICIANS               
                                                                        
[G]She looked [D]out of the [G]window, as [C]white as
[D]any [G]milk,
And [G]he looked [D]in at the [G]window, as [C]black as
[D]any [G]silk.


CHORUS:
                                                                  
"Hel[G]lo, hel[Em]lo, hel[C]lo, hel[Am]lo,
You [D]coal-black [G]smith:                                    
You [Am]have done me no [D]harm
You never shall have me maidenhead that [G]I have [D]kept so [G]long                           
I'd rather [D]die a [G]maid
Ah, but then she said "And be [C]buried all [A]min me
[D]grave
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusty, musty
[G]Coal-black smith: a [C]maiden [D]I will [G]die!"

      
[G]She be[D]came a [G]duck, a [C]duck all [D]on the
[G]stream,
And [G]he be[D]came a water-[G]dog and [C]fetched her
[D]back a[G]gain

       CHORUS

She became a star, a star all in the night,
And he became a thunder-cloud and muffled her out of sight.

        CHORUS

She became a rose, a rose all in the wood,
And he became a bumble-bee and kissed her where she stood.

        CHORUS

She became a nun, a nun all dressed in white,
And he became a canty-priest, and prayed for her by night.

        CHORUS

She became a trout, a trout all in the brook,
And he became a lemon-fly and catched her with his hook.

       CHORUS

She became a corpse, a corpse all in the ground,
And he became the cold clay and smothered her all around.

FINAL CHORUS

"Hel[G]lo, hel[Em]lo, hel[C]lo, hel[Am]lo;
Hel[G]lo, hel[Em]lo, hel[C]lo, hel[Am]lo,
You [D]coal-black [G]smith:

(Chords as for 'regular' chorus from here on)

You have done me no harm
You never shall have me maidenhead that I have kept so long
I'd rather die a maid":
Ah, but then she said "And be buried all in me graveThan to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusty, musty
Coal-black smith: a maiden I will die!"


Hope this version helps with your search
