It was a cold night
G G
And the snow lay low
Em Em
I pulled my coat tight
Em Em
Against the falling down

And the sun was all

And the sun was all down

And the sun was all
C C G
And the sun was all down

I am a poor man
G G Em
I haven't wealth nor fame
Em Em
I have my two hands
Em Em C
And a house to my name
C C
And the winter's so
C C
And the winter's so long
C C
And the winter's so
C C D
And the winter's so long

And all the stars were crashing 'round

As I laid eyes on what I'd found
It was a white crane
It was a helpless thing
Upon a red stain
With an arrow its wing
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so
And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife, my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wife
Now I helped her
And I dressed her wounds
And how I held her
Beneath the rising moon
And she stood to fly
And she stood to fly away
And she stood to fly
She stood to fly away
And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife, my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wifeSend feedback

All the basic chords are right, but it would be nice to have a proper tab so all the little nuances are pat down as well.

It's almsot right... First, the chords change at the end of the previous line, like : [Em] against the falling [C] down, etc. Then, there misses a row [G] [Em] [C] at the "and the sun..." Didn't check until the end, but for the beginning, that's what I found.

These are all the right chords but they aren't placed correctly.
