Verse 1
CmSilver Moonlight Dances From The Mist Of Tegid’s Shore,
A CmLady Looks Upon Her Son, Like Many Times Before,
As She G#maj7Touches His Face, Fingers WA#6et With Tears Falling.   Cm​
Her CmDaughter Stands Beside Her, The Fairest In The Land,
CmHow Her Son Became So Cursed She Cannot Understand,
But This G#maj7Mother’s Love Is As SA#6trong As Her Heart Is Beating,  Cm​
And She G#maj7Calls To The Earth, And The EA#6arth Hears Her Calling.  Cm​

Verse 2
CmHigh Up In The Mountains Dinas Afferaon Stands Tall,
All CmMagic And All Mysteries Are Held Within These Walls,
So She G#maj7Walks To The Door: As She DA#6oes, The Door It Opens.  Cm​
CmTeach To Me The Mystery Of The Cauldron’s Brew,
Let CmUtter Darkness Give Way To Light And Be Reborn Anew,
Then The G#maj7Awen Will Shine From The BA#6row Of The Eagle Of The SeCma,
And G#maj7All Will Know His Name, From This LA#6and To The People Of The SiCmdhe.

Verse 3
The CmLady Sets The Cauldron’s Fire, Tended By The Hand
Of CmGwion Bach The Innocent, And Morda The Blind Man,
Who G#maj7Reached Out His Hand: Place More WA#6ood, Keep The Cauldron Boiling.  Cm​
Then CmMorda He Fell Asleep, Alas He Didn’t See,
CmWood Upon Wood Was Added, The Inferno Was The Key,
To UnG#maj7lock The Door Of The AA#6wen’s Greatest Mystery.  Cm​
Three G#maj7Drops, Burning Skin, And It’s GA#6wion Who Gained The Power To SeCme.

Interlude
(Spoken)
CmThe Cauldron Cracks, The Poison Creeps, Slowly Across The Land,
CmTo Kill The Horses Of Garanhir At The Lakeshore Where They Stand,
G#maj7Drinking, Not Knowing Their Fate,
As A A#6Hare Runs Fast Across The Land. Cm​
CmCeridwen, Ceridwen, Lady Of The Cauldron, Come See What They Have Done!
CmStolen Your Cauldron’s Power, And Betrayed Your Only Son!
G#maj7Your Eyes Wide, Lips C,
A#6Anger On Your Face!  Cm​
CmChange Your Shape Now Lady!
CmBe The Hound, Begin The G#maj7Chase!    A#6       Cm​

Bridge
CmI Shall Be A Running Hare, With Sorrow And With Mickle Care,
(Then G#maj7I Shall Be A Greyhound Bitch, And TA#6ear You From Your Skin!)
Then CmI Shall Be A Flying Wren, The King Of Birds, The King Of Men,
(So G#maj7I Shall Be A Falcon Grey, And TA#6ear You From Your Skin!)
Then CmI Shall Be A Salmon Sleek, Darting Through A Shallow Creek,
(SoG#maj7 I Shall Be An Otter Bitch, And WA#6rest You From Your Skin!)
I Shall CmBe A Grain Beneath The Sun, And You Will Never Know Which One,
(Then G#maj7I Shall Be A Great Black Hen, And TA#6ake You Deep Within!)   Cm​

Verse 4
Now CmYou May Be Forgiven To Think My Tale Is Over And Done,
But CmNine Moons Later She Gave Birth To A Son,
That She G#maj7Wanted To Kill, But She PA#6laced In A Coracle On The SeCma.
CmGaranhir’s Salmon Weir, A Catch Was Guaranteed,
But CmOn This Day A Baby Boy Cried Out To Be Freed,
A G#maj7Radiant Brow, Shining BA#6right For All To Plainly SeCme.
TaliG#maj7esin Is Your Name, The Greatest BA#6ard That This Land Will Ever SeCme!
