Princess & The Raven
Gillian Welch & David Rawlings
Capo 6
Spoken Am Bm C
Once there was
A broken hearted princess
Who stood on a bridge
Over an ice cold river
And asked these questions
To the night…
Am Where is the G bed
Where D/F# sorrow F may sleep
Ever Am toss, ever Bm turn
Through the Am night? E
And Am what never G moves
Through the D/F# days and the F years
But is Am gone in the Bm end
Out of Am sight? E
Am What's the C reward
D/F# That cannot be F bought
Not for Am silver
Or for E gold
Any Am price…? Bm C?
Spoken Am
High in the branches of a nearby oak
The Raven heard the princess
And flew down and then he spoke…
The Am river is G the bed
D/F# Where sorrow may F sleep
Ever Am toss, ever Bm turn
Through the Am night E
And the Am road never G moves
D/F# Through the days and the F years
But is Am gone in the Bm end
Out of Am sight E
Am Sleep’s the C reward
That D/F# cannot be F bought
Not for Am silver or for E gold
Any Am price… Bm Am
