(4)
In the quivering forest,

                  Cadd9 (4)
Where the shivering dog rests,

My good grandfather

             Fmaj13 (4)
Built a wooden nest.

             Cadd9 (4)
And the home got snowed in,

          Bb (4)

And the yellow moon glowed bright,

             Fmaj13 (4)
To the morning light.

 

Bb                    Cadd9
Terrible am I child?

Bb                      Cadd9
Even if you don't mind,
