G 

verse 1 

It was a cold night 
                 Em 
And the snow lay around 
I pulled my coat tight 
                    C 
Against the falling down 
And the sun was all 
                    G     Em 
And the sun was all down 
And the sun was all 
                    C     G 
And the sun was all down 

verse 2 

I am a poor man 
                     Em 
I haven't wealth nor fame 
I have my two hands 
                  C 
And a house to my name 
And the winter's so 
                    G     Em 
And the winter's so long 
And the winter's so 
                    C     D 
And the winter's so long 


And all the stars were crashing 'round 
                           G 
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
 

verse 3 

It was a white crane 
                  Em 
It was a helpless thing 
Upon a red stain 
                  C 
With an arrow its wing 
And it called and cried 
                        G     Em 
And it called and cried so 
And it called and cried 
                        C     D 
And it called and cried so 

Chorus 

And all the stars were crashing 'round 
                           G 
As I laid eyes on what I'd found 
                        Em    C 
My crane wife, my crane wife 
                        G 
My crane wife, my crane wife 

verse 4 

Now I helped her 
                  Em 
And I dressed her wounds 
And how I held her 
                   C 
Beneath the rising moon 
And she stood to fly 
                     G     Em 
And she stood to fly away 
And she stood to fly 
                 C     D 
She stood to fly away 

Chorus 

And all the stars were crashing 'round 
                           G 
As I laid eyes on what I'd found 
                        Em    C 
My crane wife, my crane wife 
                        G 
My crane wife, my crane wife

                 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 

verse 2 

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

My crane wife, my crane wife, my crane wife

We were poorly, our fortunes fading hourly 
    C       G                           D 
And how she vowed me she could bring it back 

verse 4 

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 

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

My crane wife, my crane wife, my crane wife

There is blood in the thread and it rakes at my heart

A gray sky a bitter stain
