[Intro]
Ab Ab/G F F

[Verse 1]
Ab
In the magic hour, when the moon is low
Ab/G F
And the sky's the kinda blue that you think you know
F
But you don't know
Cm
The Turfcutters Donkey runs around and
Bb
All the fairy children they run around and
F
All the other children they make no sound

[Verse 2]
Ab
In that hour, if you're on the coast
Ab/G F
And the waves nip at your heels like a dog
F
Pull me closer
Cm
It's past the time of the dinner bell
Bb
Before the shine of Orion's belt
F
The sky's still bluer than a bluebell

[Chorus]
Bb F
Oh when I go, won't you throw my bones to the fish
Ab Eb C#
And weigh my body down with sticks and stones
Bb F Ab
Bury me not in the old graveyard where all my friends are
Eb C#
Beneath the heather on the high hillside
Eb C#
Death is a lonely bride

[Interlude]
Ab Ab/G F

[Verse 3]
Ab
In the magic hour, when the moonlight gleams
Ab/G F
And the sky's the kind of gray that you've never seen
F
Till you've seen it
Cm
Run down to the Virgin Mary's bank
Bb
Where our mothers cried and our fathers drank
F
We all just trying to see where the ship sank
