Verse 1
DmSilver Moonlight Dances From The Mist Of Tegid’s Shore,
A DmLady Looks Upon Her Son, Like Many Times Before,
As She A#maj7Touches His Face, Fingers WC6et With Tears Falling.  Dm​
Her DmDaughter Stands Beside Her, The Fairest In The Land,
DmHow Her Son Became So Cursed She Cannot Understand,
But This A#maj7Mother’s Love Is As SC6trong As Her Heart Is Beating, Dm​
And She A#maj7Calls To The Earth, And The EC6arth Hears Her Calling. Dm​

Verse 2
DmHigh Up In The Mountains Dinas Afferaon Stands Tall,
All DmMagic And All Mysteries Are Held Within These Walls,
So She A#maj7Walks To The Door: As She DC6oes, The Door It Opens. Dm​
DmTeach To Me The Mystery Of The Cauldron’s Brew,
Let DmUtter Darkness Give Way To Light And Be Reborn Anew,
Then The A#maj7Awen Will Shine From The BC6row Of The Eagle Of The SDmea,
And A#maj7All Will Know His Name, From This LC6and To The People Of The SDmidhe.

Verse 3
The DmLady Sets The Cauldron’s Fire, Tended By The Hand
Of DmGwion Bach The Innocent, And Morda The Blind Man,
Who A#maj7Reached Out His Hand: Place More WC6ood, Keep The Cauldron Boiling. Dm​
Then DmMorda He Fell Asleep, Alas He Didn’t See,
DmWood Upon Wood Was Added, The Inferno Was The Key,
To UnA#maj7lock The Door Of The AC6wen’s Greatest Mystery. Dm​
Three A#maj7Drops, Burning Skin, And It’s GC6wion Who Gained The Power To SDmee.

Interlude
(Spoken)
DmThe Cauldron Cracks, The Poison Creeps, Slowly Across The Land,
DmTo Kill The Horses Of Garanhir At The Lakeshore Where They Stand,
A#maj7Drinking, Not Knowing Their Fate,
As A C6Hare Runs Fast Across The Land.Dm​
DmCeridwen, Ceridwen, Lady Of The Cauldron, Come See What They Have Done!
DmStolen Your Cauldron’s Power, And Betrayed Your Only Son!
A#maj7Your Eyes Wide, Lips C,
C6Anger On Your Face! Dm​
DmChange Your Shape Now Lady!
DmBe The Hound, Begin The A#maj7Chase!    C6      Dm​

Bridge
DmI Shall Be A Running Hare, With Sorrow And With Mickle Care,
(Then A#maj7I Shall Be A Greyhound Bitch, And TC6ear You From Your Skin!)
Then DmI Shall Be A Flying Wren, The King Of Birds, The King Of Men,
(So A#maj7I Shall Be A Falcon Grey, And TC6ear You From Your Skin!)
Then DmI Shall Be A Salmon Sleek, Darting Through A Shallow Creek,
(SoA#maj7 I Shall Be An Otter Bitch, And WC6rest You From Your Skin!)
I Shall DmBe A Grain Beneath The Sun, And You Will Never Know Which One,
(Then A#maj7I Shall Be A Great Black Hen, And TC6ake You Deep Within!)  Dm​

Verse 4
Now DmYou May Be Forgiven To Think My Tale Is Over And Done,
But DmNine Moons Later She Gave Birth To A Son,
That She A#maj7Wanted To Kill, But She PC6laced In A Coracle On The SDmea.
DmGaranhir’s Salmon Weir, A Catch Was Guaranteed,
But DmOn This Day A Baby Boy Cried Out To Be Freed,
A A#maj7Radiant Brow, Shining BC6right For All To Plainly SDmee.
TaliA#maj7esin Is Your Name, The Greatest BC6ard That This Land Will Ever SDmee!
