Verse 2

She tied my eyes with a ribbon of a silken ghostly thread,

I gazed with troubled vision on an old four-poster bed

Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head

And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead,

Verse 3

She gazed with a love and beauty, like a mother to a son,

Like live and die, and see and be, and all rolled into one,

Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones,

The same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home,

Chorus, [tab].

Verse 4

Then creeping on towards me with their lips with tongues of fire

A host of golden demons screaming "Lust!" and "Base desire!"

And when it seemed for certain that their screams could get no higher

I heard a voice above the rest, screaming "You're a liar!"

But it's alright, Lady Eleanor,

Alright, Lady Eleanor,

I'm alright here in your arms....

I suspect those last chords are something entirely different, but can't

remember much except they _are_ simple chords.

If anyone can supply the missing words or correct any others I have wrong,

PLEASE Email me. It's an old favourite, and I'd like to get it right!

If memory serves me, Alan Hull wrote it.

p.s. I love the mandolin work, too, but the tab for that would be a bit

beyond me...
