Chords for Robin Williamson - Flower Of The Briar

[Bm] To the heart of [A] the thunder, [D] the [G] heart [G] of my [F#m] sorrow, _ flower of [G] the briar,
[D] Come storm, sea [F#m] and [D] gales, [F#m] [B] out howl [F#m] all these words of me, [G]
flower [D] [G] of [A] the briar,
And [G] my tears and [Bm] salt sea spray, [F#] flower [B] of the briar,
Where the grey gulls [Em] and the white gulls, fall [Bm] wing [C]-torn [Bm] and wounded [Em] at the teeth [D] of [B] the rain,
Where [Em] the grey [Bm] [D] waves [A] and the white waves, [Em] bitter [Bm] as [D] the grave's edge,
[Em] _
Bewail with [Bm] the sea's [F#] rage, this [Bm] world and [E] its [B] pain,
_ That [F#m] this tiny _ [B] should [A] cleave us but a little,
[B] _ _ _ _ _
Come [Bm] shipwreck, [A] come shelter, [D] come flower of [G] the [F#m] morning, come flower [G] of the briar,
[D] Where gates [F#m] the tarp road [G] and gold [F#m] as the temper, [G] _ [D] _ [G] _ [A] _ _ leaves [G] orth ropes the [Bm] wide,
[F#] I would [Bm] all _ _ from far _
[Em] _ _ _ [Bm] East look [C] at [Bm] _ _
_ [Em] Oswald [Bm] in Blandstone
[Em] Let [Bm] love learn [A] from Jewry [Em] men _
Marksmen [D] and _ _ [Em] traitors
Cut away [Bm] the hiding-place
In the hovel _ of Thorne
[F#m] But this road should [B] bind [A] _ _ us
[B] But a little while

_ _ wish I [E] [A] could see by the [D] [G] light [G] moon and the [F#m] dark _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] moon
Beyond the horse kiss, [C#] _ [G] beyond the _ [D]
[F#m] nun's fond _ [G] _ [D] flowers [G] _ [A] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[F#] unfade
Flourish [B] _ and _ the lame [Bm] shall give [Em] keep
Blast the grief and [Bm] its beauty
The [Em] life [D] and [Bm] its harm
By [Em] the knife [Bm] [A] blade of harnessing
[Em] Oh, _ [G] touchless and _ [D] snaring
By [Em] the tree [Bm] and its emptiness
_ [F#m] Through [E] all [B] the briar _
