The song is fingerpicked, but doesn't sound too bad played with just chords - especially
like me, you're rubbish at fingerpicking!

DMy crane wife arrCived at my Gdoor in the Dmoonlight
All Cstar-bright and Gtongue tied I took her Din
DWe were married and Cbells rang Gsweet for our Dwedding
And our Cbedding was Gready when we fell Din
Chorus:
EmSound the keening beAll and see it's painted Emred
Soft as fontaAnel, the feathers in the Gthread
When all I ever meAant to Cdo was to Gkeep you
D G D C
MyD crane wife, my crane wife, my crane wife
DWe were poorly, our Cfortunes Gfading Dhourly
And Chow she Gvowed me she could bring it Dback
DBut I was greedy I was vaCin and I Gforced her to Dweaving
On Ccold loom in Gclosed room with down Dwove
EmSound the keening beAll and see it's painted Emred
Soft as fontaAnel, the feathers in the Gthread
When all I ever meAant to Cdo was to Gkeep you
D G D C
MyD crane wife, my crane wife, my crane wife
EmThere's a bend in the wind and it Frakes at my heart
EmThere is blood in the thread and it Frakes at my heart
G C G C G C
RaCkes at my heart, heart, heart, heart
G G C C (x2)
GHeart, Cheart, Gheart, Cheart, Gheart, CheartG, heartC, heart
My Dcrane wife
