Tonart: A minor
Verse 1
Am
Over moors and valleys deep,
To the dark peak and the white,
There two tragic lovers sleep
D
Am
In gritstone blood and lime.
Clara's such a tender girl,
Virtuous and fair to see,
Daughter of a wealthy lord,
but cruel as death was he.
Suitors rich and mighty came,
all for Clara's favour strove,
But only one, with fortunes none,
bold Henry stole her love.
Come, my Clara, let's be gone
E
Slipping silent, out of sight
Am
From your father's house we'll steal
D
Into this moonless night
Am
Fast they rode to lands unknown
E
Through the dark peak and the white
Am
Seeking for a place renowned
E
Am
But pitying young love's plight
So to Peak Forest they were led
E
Where the martyr's bells do chime
Am
And in God's house these two were wed
E
In gritstone blood and blind
Am
Now this couple joined as one,
G
laugh so glad the valleys ring
Am
But as they ride for Castleton,
cold night comes creeping in
G
Am
In when it's past so dark and deep,
five murderous miners lingered there
G
Am
And lost in love,
E
this hapless two were caught so unaware
Am
Long young Henry struggled brave,
G
fought with every breath of power
Am
Till at last his strength is gone,
Interlude 1
all in that midnight hour

Verse 2
Am
And he's wrestled to the ground
And with poor Clara's desperate cry
G
Am
A knife is drawn across his throat
G
A love, her husband dies
Am
Now turning on this girl so dear
G
With one swift ax blow she too fell
Am
Oh how good grace and justice slumbered
In that dreadful dell
Darker and darker grows the sky
G
Through the dale the whirlwind howls
Am
On its head the black cloud glows
E
Am
Where hard the grey rock growls
But these five most murderous men
All fell foul to fate's revenge
One tumbled down that self
-same dell
G
And one was crushed to death
Am
One with guilt his own life took
E
And one died mad before his time
Am
And the last on his deathbed
E
Confessed this terrible crime
Am
See in speed while cavern there
Clara's saddle still at hand
All that's left to tell the tale
That's buried in this land
Over moors and valleys deep,
G
through the dark peak and the white,
Am
There two tragic lovers sleep,
E
Am
in gritstone, blood, and blind.
