Title : Midsummernight
Em C Am7 x2
Em
Red-hot midsummer
C
torrid winds do moan
Am7
earth of dust and crevice
Em
put us off to roam
no rain was falling
C
since spring passed by
Am7
and this red midsummer
Em
turns into our decay
C Am7 Em
Through that heat
C
above sand so roan
Am7
swirls the blackbird's song
Em
joined by the old trees' groan
locusts sing
C
in bright sunshine
Am7
and this red midsummer
Em
turns into our decay
C Am7 Em x4
Em
Place a cross of leaves
C
may there be strength to grow
Am7
let us dance this rite
Em
call on the help of Thorr
the wooden pole,
C
wreath and midsummer prayer
Am7
help us to avert
Em
this imminent decay
C Am7 Em
The holy king
C
beats now the king of oak
Am7
yet burn the holy herbs
Em
Vervain and Saint John's word
the child then the old man
C
cast them into the flames
Am7
now this red-hot midsummer
Em C Am7
is gifted a silver ray
Em C Em
is gifted a silver ray
