I wandered alone to the forest one night
Led by a music strange to hear
And followed the glow of a shimmering light
That seemed to grow distant as I grew near

The woods were alive with the fragrance of spring
But winter was everywhere clear to see
The moon shone bright and a bat on the wing
Beckoned me closer and said to me

A clearing close in the forest you'll find
A fabulous banquet, a faerie ball
If you close your eyes and you open your mind
The veil disappears and you'll see it all

/ C C G G / Dm Dm Am Am / C C G G / Dm Am E E(Am) //
Come and play as the wild fairies play
In a magical circle, a faerie ring
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring

Come and dance the wild faerie dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night

// Am Am Dm Am / G Am E E / Am Am Dm Am / G Am E Am // Am
When I closed my eyes to the shimmering light
All memory faded and I could see
That a mushroom circle of red and white
And myriad faeries surrounded me

Beyond all space and beyond all time
On gossamer wings did the faeries fly
With a joy unknown to a music sublime
The faeries danced, and there danced I

[SUGGESTION: extra verse here, no singing - chance to do the mushroom dance - michael]
[would it be nice to have a string section !? - ooh Ash’s flute! ]

Come and play as the wild faeries play…
In a magical circle, a faerie ring
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring

Come and dance the wild faerie dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night

Those who seek us surely find us
See the trail we leave behind us
Some bewildered, some enlightened
Some are brave, some are frightened _hold E_

Are we kind or are we vicious?
Nectar poison or delicious?
That, my sweet, you will discover
Faerie foe, or faerie lover

G // C C G G / Dm Dm Am Am / C C G G / Dm Am E Am
Come and play as the wild faeries play
In a magical circle, a fairy ring
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring

Come and dance the wild faerie dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night

I wandered alone to the forest one night
Led by a music strange and clear
If you happen to pass when the moon is bright
/ Dm Am E Am /
And the veils are thin you will find me here
If the veils are thin you will find me here… (End with A)
