Very nice song to play on an accoustic. Listen to the song to get the strumming right, it isn't too tricky! The other tab is a bit off. It is incomplete and incorrect. That's why I'm submitting this version ---- F It was a cold night

And the snow lay ^Amlow I pulled my coat tight Against the falling ^Fdown And the sun was all And the sun was all ^Fdown ^Am And the sun was all And the sun was all ^Fdown ^F

I am a poor man

I haven't wealth nor ^Amfame I have my two hands And a house to my ^Fname And the winter's so And the winter's so ^Flong ^Am And the winter's so And the winter's so ^Flong ^G

And all the stars were crashing 'round

As I laid eyes on what I'd ^Ffound

It was a white crane

It was a helpless ^Amthing Upon a red stain With an arrow its ^Fwing And it called and cried And it called and cried ^Fso ^Am And it called and cried And it called and cried ^Fso ^G

And all the stars were crashing 'round

As I laid eyes on what I'd ^Ffound My crane wife, my crane ^Amwife ^F My crane wife, my crane ^Fwife

Now I helped her

And I dressed her ^Amwounds And how I held her Beneath the rising ^Fmoon And she stood to fly And she stood to fly ^Faway ^Am And she stood to fly She stood to fly ^Faway ^G

And all the stars were crashing 'round

As I laid eyes on what I'd ^Ffound My crane wife, my crane ^Amwife ^F My crane wife, my crane ^Fwife

F Am F F F Am F F F
