[Verse 1]
Am Am G Am
There's a land of fog and shadow way down below
Em Em Dm E
Where every door is sinking 'neath cold white snow
Am Dm
And the lake is frozen over, nothing never grows
F Am Am G Am Am
Where the wind weeps Eleanor, 'tis there I go
[Verse 2]
Am Am G Am
I stole a Foster rifle and a fist of shells
Em Em Dm E
Fashioned me a snowshoe when the wagons fell
Am Dm
Then drank a fit of courage down the broken path to Hell
F Am Am G Am Am
Where the wind weeps Eleanor, 'tis there I go
[Verse 3]
Am Am G Am
The belly of the mountain is cruel and long
Em Em Dm E
With a banjo on my shoulder, I carried on
Am Dm
To beseech the Devil's mercy with a mortal song
F Am Am G Am Am
Where the wind weeps Eleanor, 'tis there I go
[Verse 4]
Am Am G Am
I found him in a cabin at the serpent's tail
Em Em Dm E
Where brides of lovesick travelers fill a winter jail
Am Dm
There I sang my words so sweetly that the Devil did wail
F Am Am G Am Am
Where the wind weeps Eleanor, 'tis there I go
[Verse 5]
Am Am G Am
"Look not behind thee, laddie," he bellowed twice
Em Em Dm E
"Look not behind thee, laddie, there be a price"
Am Dm
But I turned to bear her witness and she turned to ice
