The song is fingerpicked, but doesn't sound too bad played with just chords - especially like me, you're rubbish at fingerpicking! D D C G D My crane wife arrived at my door in the moonlight C G D All star-bright and tongue tied I took her in D C G D We were married and bells rang sweet for our wedding C G D And our bedding was ready when we fell in Chorus: Em A Em Sound the keening bell and see it's painted red A G Soft as fontanel, the feathers in the thread A C G When all I ever meant to do was to keep you D G D C D My crane wife, my crane wife, my crane wife D C G D We were poorly, our fortunes fading hourly C G D And how she vowed me she could bring it back D C G D But I was greedy I was vain and I forced her to weaving C G D On cold loom in closed room with down wove Em A Em Sound the keening bell and see it's painted red A G Soft as fontanel, the feathers in the thread A C G When all I ever meant to do was to keep you D G D C D My crane wife, my crane wife, my crane wife Em F There's a bend in the wind and it rakes at my heart Em F There is blood in the thread and it rakes at my heart G C G C G C C Rakes at my heart, heart, heart, heart G G C C (x2) G C G C G C G C Heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart D My crane wife Taken from the fantastic album The Crane Wife.
