The Song of Wandering Aengus

	A	Asus4	A
	I went out to the	haz~~	el wood,

	E7	Esus2	E7	A
	Because	a~~~~f	ire was in my	head.

	A	Asus4	A	E7
	And cut and peeled a	haz~~	el	wand,

	Esus4	E7	Esus4	A
And hooked	a~~~~ b	erry	to a ~~	thread;

	D*	G	D*	G	D	G
	And when white	moths	were	on	the	wing,

	A	A6	G	D
	And moth-	like ~~~~~	stars were	flickering out,

	E7	Esus4	E
	I dropped the berry in	a ~~~!	stream

	Esus4	D	A	Asus2	A
And caught	a ~~~~	little	sil	ver ~~~	trout.

When I had laid it on the floor

I went to blow the fire aflame,

But something rustled on the floor,

And someone 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 lands 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.

And walk among long dappled grass,

And pluck till time and times are done

The silver apples of the moon,

D A*

The golden apples of the sun.

There have been many settings of this songs. Naturally I think mine is one of the better ones.
