Song: |
According to one account, "By the Waters" was inspired by an ancient Sioux love song sung for Lieurance in 1911 by one Sitting Eagle. The legend associated with the song has also been preserved and reads like a Native American version of Romeo and Juliet.
**NOTE: Might not be exactly right in some spots, but close. YouTube this song by Richard Cook for his version.
3 5 5 4 3 6 -6 5
Moon Deer, How near
5 -4 5 -4 4 3 -2 2
Your soul divine.
3 5 5 4 3 6 -6 5
Sun Deer, No fear
5 5 -4 5 -4 3 4
In heart of mine.
5 -4 5 -4
Skies blue, O'er you.
-4 4 -4 4
Look down, In love;
5 -4 5 -4
Waves bright, Give light
3 -5 3 6
As on they move.
3 5 5 4 3 6 -6 5
Hear thou, My vow
5-4 5-4 4 3 -2 2
To live, to die.
3 5 5 4 3 6 -6 5
Moon Deer, Thee near,
5 5 -4 5 -2 4
Beneath this sky.
