[Intro riff]
A5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5 D5 x2
[Verse 1]
A5 D5 A5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5
Have you ever stood in the April wood and called the new year in
D5
A5 D5 A5 C5 D5 E5 D5
While the phantoms of three thousand years fly as the dead leaves spin
C5 D5
Bm D5 E
There's a snap in the grass behind your feet and a tap upon your shoulder
Bm D5 E
And the thin wind crawls along your neck it's just the old gods getting older
[Chorus 1]
Bb C F Csus4
And the kestral drops like a fall of shot and the red cloud hanging high
A5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5 D5
Come a Beltane
A5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5 D5
Come a Beltane
[Verse 2]
A5 D5 A5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5 D5
Have you ever loved a lover of the old elastic truth
A5 D5 A5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5 D5
And doted on the daughter in the ministry of youth
Bm D5 E
Thrust your head between the breasts of the fertile innocent
Bm D5 E
And taken up the cause of love for the sake of argument
[Chorus 2]
Bb C F Csus4
Or while the kisses drop like a fall of shot from soft lips in the rain
A5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5 D5
Come a Beltane
[Bridge]
A5 D5
A happy old new year to you and yours
A5 D5
The sun's up for one more day, to be sure
E G5 D5
Play it out gladly for your card's marked again
[Instrumental]

Intro riff x2
[Verse 3]
A5 D5 A5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5
Have you walked around your parks and towns so knife-edged orderly
D5
A5 D5 A5 C5 D5 E5
While the fires are burned on the hills upturned in far-off wild country
D5 C5 D5
Bm D5 E
And felt the chill on your window-sill as the green man comes around
Bm D5 E
With his walking cane of sweet hazel brings it crashing down
[Chorus]
Bb C F
Sends your knuckles white as the thin stick bites but it's just your groaning
Csus4
pains
