In the (A)dark green woods, when the (D)sun was (G)high
I (A)saw a lady (G)riding (A)by
She had flashing (G)eyes and (D)golden (A)hair
She rode u(G)pon a (Em)dappled (A)mare

In the (A)dark green woods, by the (D)last bird's (G)call
There (A)came a soldier (G)straight and (A)tall
He found his (G)true love (D)waiting (A)there
And he kissed her (G)eyes and her (Em)golden (A)hair

In the (A)dark green woods, by the (D)evening (G)star
I (A)saw a soldier (G)ride to (A)war
He never (G)would re(D)turn a(A)gain
For in some (G)battle, (Em)he was (A)slain

In the (A)dark green woods, the (D)people (G)said
She (A)heard the news her (G)love was (A)dead
But still she (G)waited (D)for him (A)there
With flowers (G)in her (Em)golden (A)hair

In the (A)dark green woods, by the (D)pale moon(G)light
A (A)ghost goes riding (G)every (A)night
She has golden (G)hair, the (D)people (A)say
And talks to (G)shadows (Em)on her (A)way
