G              G
It was a cold night
G              G
And the snow lay low
Em           Em
I pulled my coat tight
Em           Em
Against the falling down
C             C
And the sun was all
C             C
And the sun was all down
C             C
And the sun was all
C             C                    G
And the sun was all down

G             G
I am a poor man
G             G                  Em
I haven't wealth nor fame
Em           Em
I have my two hands
Em           Em               C
And a house to my name
C             C
And the winter's so
C             C
And the winter's so long
C             C
And the winter's so
C             C                 D
And the winter's so long

D             D                D                    D
And all the stars were crashing 'round
D             D                D                    D
As I laid eyes on what I'd found



The Rest of the song continues like that, but here are the lyrics anyway, enjoy :)


It was a white crane
It was a helpless thing
Upon a red stain
With an arrow its wing
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife, my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wife

Now I helped her
And I dressed her wounds
And how I held her
Beneath the rising moon
And she stood to fly
And she stood to fly away
And she stood to fly
She stood to fly away

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife, my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wife
