Down in the valley where the wild winds blow
E                               D         A     B
They say   a lady died when the moon cast it's glow
E                      D            A       
A angel in white comes walking real slow
                          E
Her hands all wrapped  in velvet
         B                    E
She goes down where the water flows
E
Her hair is black as raven
A              E
Skin so pearly white
E                           D           A          B
A fair maiden never walks  alone in the pale moon night
E                           D             A
Her voice cries often where has my lover gone
                   E     B            E
Took off down  the river left me here alone
D           A      E
Cry cry the angels cry
E                              A              E
Come meet me by the whillow   whispered in her ear
E                                  D        A   B
She waited there so patiently but  he never did appear
E
She heard the  horses gallup
       D                 A
And the words the rider said
                           E        B                 E
Your true  love   has been taken to hang by the river bed
D           A            E    D  A   E
Cry cry the angels cry
D                              Bm
Why  has thou forsaken me she cried out thru the night
                                 A                 B
Grabbed a silver dagger  it was there she took her life

SOLO

E                                  A
Now she wanders thru thr valley  crying out his name
                                    D    A   B
Searching for her  lovers ghost but only in vain
       E                        D                  A
For he never died that  night  still she'll never knoiw
                                 E
With her hands  all  wrapped  in velvet
         B                    E
She goes down where the water flows
D           A            E    D  A   E
Cry cry the angels cry
