Verse 1
GmSilver Moonlight Dances From The Mist Of Tegid’s Shore,
A GmLady Looks Upon Her Son, Like Many Times Before,
As She D#maj7Touches His Face, Fingers WF6et With Tears Falling.  Gm​
Her GmDaughter Stands Beside Her, The Fairest In The Land,
GmHow Her Son Became So Cursed She Cannot Understand,
But This D#maj7Mother’s Love Is As SF6trong As Her Heart Is Beating, Gm​
And She D#maj7Calls To The Earth, And The EF6arth Hears Her Calling. Gm​

Verse 2
GmHigh Up In The Mountains Dinas Afferaon Stands Tall,
All GmMagic And All Mysteries Are Held Within These Walls,
So She D#maj7Walks To The Door: As She DF6oes, The Door It Opens. Gm​
GmTeach To Me The Mystery Of The Cauldron’s Brew,
Let GmUtter Darkness Give Way To Light And Be Reborn Anew,
Then The D#maj7Awen Will Shine From The BF6row Of The Eagle Of The SGmea,
And D#maj7All Will Know His Name, From This LF6and To The People Of The SGmidhe.

Verse 3
The GmLady Sets The Cauldron’s Fire, Tended By The Hand
Of GmGwion Bach The Innocent, And Morda The Blind Man,
Who D#maj7Reached Out His Hand: Place More WF6ood, Keep The Cauldron Boiling. Gm​
Then GmMorda He Fell Asleep, Alas He Didn’t See,
GmWood Upon Wood Was Added, The Inferno Was The Key,
To UnD#maj7lock The Door Of The AF6wen’s Greatest Mystery. Gm​
Three D#maj7Drops, Burning Skin, And It’s GF6wion Who Gained The Power To SGmee.

Interlude
(Spoken)
GmThe Cauldron Cracks, The Poison Creeps, Slowly Across The Land,
GmTo Kill The Horses Of Garanhir At The Lakeshore Where They Stand,
D#maj7Drinking, Not Knowing Their Fate,
As A F6Hare Runs Fast Across The Land.Gm​
GmCeridwen, Ceridwen, Lady Of The Cauldron, Come See What They Have Done!
GmStolen Your Cauldron’s Power, And Betrayed Your Only Son!
D#maj7Your Eyes Wide, Lips C,
F6Anger On Your Face! Gm​
GmChange Your Shape Now Lady!
GmBe The Hound, Begin The D#maj7Chase!    F6      Gm​

Bridge
GmI Shall Be A Running Hare, With Sorrow And With Mickle Care,
(Then D#maj7I Shall Be A Greyhound Bitch, And TF6ear You From Your Skin!)
Then GmI Shall Be A Flying Wren, The King Of Birds, The King Of Men,
(So D#maj7I Shall Be A Falcon Grey, And TF6ear You From Your Skin!)
Then GmI Shall Be A Salmon Sleek, Darting Through A Shallow Creek,
(SoD#maj7 I Shall Be An Otter Bitch, And WF6rest You From Your Skin!)
I Shall GmBe A Grain Beneath The Sun, And You Will Never Know Which One,
(Then D#maj7I Shall Be A Great Black Hen, And TF6ake You Deep Within!)  Gm​

Verse 4
Now GmYou May Be Forgiven To Think My Tale Is Over And Done,
But GmNine Moons Later She Gave Birth To A Son,
That She D#maj7Wanted To Kill, But She PF6laced In A Coracle On The SGmea.
GmGaranhir’s Salmon Weir, A Catch Was Guaranteed,
But GmOn This Day A Baby Boy Cried Out To Be Freed,
A D#maj7Radiant Brow, Shining BF6right For All To Plainly SGmee.
TaliD#maj7esin Is Your Name, The Greatest BF6ard That This Land Will Ever SGmee!
