Karan Casey - The Yellow Furze

      [Intro]
Am    G  Em  Am    G    Am    G    Am  G  Am

[Verse]
                                 G
The yellow furze stole my heart again today
    Am                          G
The daisies in the long grasses sway
  Am                  G
Before I stepped into his domain
   Am               G             Am
My heart soared and sang with the wind

[Verse]
                                  G
I stood in by the ditch where the primroses lay
Am                         G
Thought of my good friend, Jane
        Am                            G
Who has turned her life around for herself, yes, for herself
   Am       G           Am
Despite the shame of it all

[Chorus]
     G
They had to hand it to her, she's done well
                    Am
So they couldn't complain
     G
They waited for the fall
                         Am
And all the pain to come through
     F
With hearts already too broken
           Am             Em  Am
Only to be frozen over in misery

[Verse]
                          G
They never said about the baby born in the barn
Am                                          G
Finding her twisted and wound up with their scorn
    Am                            G
The months she spent, many miles, many miles away
Am              G                  Am
Dark sunglasses worn on a winter's day

[Verse]
                          G
We had nowhere to turn to but the skies
   Am                         G
We followed a star around the world
       Am                     G
Now we wave and walk on, each bent in our own wind
Am    G           Am
Trees lean in and listen

[Chorus]
     G
They had to hand it to her, she's done well
                    Am
So they couldn't complain
     G
They waited for the fall
                         Am
And all the pain to come through
     F
With hearts already too broken
           Am             Em  Am
Only to be frozen over in misery

[Instrumental]
Am    G    Am    G    Am    G    F  Em  Am

[Chorus]
     G
They had to hand it to her, she's done well
                    Am
So they couldn't complain
     G
They waited for the fall
                         Am
And all the pain to come through
     F
With hearts already too broken
           Am             Em  Am
Only to be frozen over in misery

[Verse]
                                     G
And the yellow furze stole my heart again today
    Am                          G
The daisies in the long grasses sway
  Am                     G
Before I stepped into, into his domain
   F                G             Am
My heart soared and sang with the wind
