Widow With A Shawl
Words and Music by Donovan Leitch
{CRD file by Dennis McClain-Furmanski/dynasor@infi.net}
Am G
Dear wind that shakes the barley free,
Am G G/F# Em
Blow home my true love's ship to me, fill her sails.
Am G
I a-weary wait upon the shore.
Am G
Forsake her not in times of storm,
Am G G/F# Em
protect her oaken beams from harm, fill her sails.
Am G
I a-weary wait upon the shore.
Am G
Whether he be in Africa
Am G G/F# Em
Or deep asleep in India, fill his dreams,
Am G
I a-weary wait upon the shore.
Am G
Dear snow white gulls upon the wing,
Am G G/F# Em
I, like you, are lamenting, for my love.
Am G
I a-weary wait upon the shore.
Am G
And in my chariot of sleep,
Am G G/F# Em
I ride the vast and dreamy deep, deep sea.
Am G
I awake a-weary on the shore.
Am G
For seven years and seven days,
Am G G/F# Em
no man has seen my woman's ways, dear God.
Am G
I a-weary cry upon the shore.
Am G
Along the shingle beach I go,
Am G G/F# Em
the wind about me as I make my way,
Am G
to my weary dream upon my bed.
Am G
Dear wind that shakes the barley free,
Am G G/F# Em
Blow home my true love's ship to me, fill her sails.
Am G
I a-weary wait upon the shore.
Am G
I a-weary wait upon the shore.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DONOVAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
