[Verse 1]
 D
Oft I had heard of
 Lucy Gray
And when I crossed
      Am
the wild
             D
I chanced to see the
        Am
 break of day

The solitary child

[Verse 2]
               D
No mate, no comrade,
Lucy knew
                 G
She dwelt where none
 abide
               D
The sweetest thing
that ever grew
        Am
Upon the mountainside

[Verse 3]
            D
You yet may spy
 the fawn at play
          Am
The hare among the green
               C
But the sweet face
 of Lucy Gray
          Am
Will never more be seen

[Verse 4]
             Em
"Tonight will be a
stormy night
            Am
You, to the town, must go
             D
And take a lantern,
 child, to light
Your mother through
      Am
 the snow"

[Verse 5]
                Am
That, Father, will
 I gladly do
              D
'Tis scarcеly afternoon
            D
The village clock has
             Am
just struck two
                   Am
And yondеr is the moon

[Verse 6]
            D
At this, the Father
turned his hook
            Am
To kindling for the day
            D
He plied his work
 and Lucy took
    Am
The lantern on her way

[Verse 7]
           D
As carefree as a
 mountain doe
A fresh new path,
     Am
 she broke
         D
Her feet dispersed
the powdery snow
That rose up just
     Am
like smoke
