^EmThere's a wrinkle, ^A in the water ^DWhere we laid our,^Cmaj7 first daughter ^EmAnd I think the wind blows ^Aso sweetly ^Cmaj7there, over ^B7there

And the windows, and the cinders And the willows, in the timbers The infernal rattling of the rain, still remains

But ^EmI, said the ^Bbachelor to the ^Embride Am not ^Bwaiting for ^Ctonight, No, ^GI, I will ^Abox your ears And ^B7leave you here stripped ^Embare

^EmStri^Appe^Dd b^Cmaj7are... Hear the corncrakes, and the deerhooves And the sleet rain on the slate roof A medallion locked inside her hands, in her hands

And his fingers, are they telling Of the barren of her belly Do his calluses cure her furrowed brow, even now But I, said the bachelor to the bride Am not waiting for tonight, No, I will box your ears And leave you here stripped bare,

^EmStri^Appe^Dd b^Cmaj7are, st^Emripp^Aed ^Dbar^Cmaj7e, stripped bare But I, said the bachelor to the bride Am not waiting for tonight, No, I will box your ears And ^Ctake your tears And ^Aleave you, leave you ^Chere, stripped ^Embare ^A ^D ^Cmaj7
