G D Down in the Valley of Hollow Logs A Two lovers lay in the weeds G D Safe in the net of their sweaty arms A D Safe from the wind in the trees G D My love, said the boy, you're the clear blue sky A You're the air I gulp to breathe G D I feel you rushing through my veins A D Like the wind rushing through the trees G D My love, said the girl, you're my secret pearl A You're a string of tiny glass beads G D You're a burning star I keep in a jar A D Safe from the wind in the trees
    G            D                            A                 G             D                     A      D

G D Down in the Valley of Hollow Logs A Two lovers lay back in the weeds G D Listening to the howl of hunting dogs A D And the wind howling through the trees G D Then insects ran for the underbrush A As the wind filled the air with dead leaves G D And every stone turned slowly to dust A D As the wind tore through the trees
  G             D                     A        G              D                 A   D

Bass arr. for guitar G D So the young girl pierced her lily-white breast A Her blood poured over dark weeds G D A silver dagger through her burning heart A D Cold as the wind in the trees G D Then the boy picked up that bloody knife A And stove it through his chest G D Farewell, farewell to the wind and the trees A D I'll die with the one I love best
