Now that Samhain is over
          C                           G
And the Sidhe have returned to their home
     Am         C            F      Em
The dead have followed the Raven's song
G                            F
And no longer among us they roam
C                          F  C
The wisdom of our ancient past
C                        G
Show us how to ride the storm
           Am           C           F    Em
For their tombs they swallow the rising sun
          G               F
And the Mabon is always reborn
F
Reborn, oh

    C                    F        C
So come all you people, come and sing with me
C                     F                     G
Join our voices, and sing the long nights away
C                      F          C          C
All over the land, a chorus of voices will sing
                F                  G
For the rising Sun on Midwinter's Day

The land may be barren and lifeless
     C                        G
The ground may be frozen and hard
         Am        C            F         Em
And the rain that fell has now turned to ice
     G                      F
The Winter is showing her card
     C                    F      C
But now the Sun king has rested
         C                       G
And his eyes have turned to the Earth
      Am            C            F            Em
For three days the Sun has been still in the sky
         G                         F
But the time has now come for his birth
F
His birth, oh

    C                    F        C
So come all you people, come and sing with me
C                     F                     G
Join our voices, and sing the long nights away
C                      F          C          C
All over the land, a chorus of voices will sing

Some say Jesus was born today
C                    G
Some say he is the Mabon
Am            C          F      Em
Some say that he is the Son of God
       G                     F
While others the Son of the Sun
C                     F     C
Some they listen in woodlands
C                G
For the call of Herne
        Am         C         F        Em
While others they hear the clash of swords
         G              F
For the Oak King will return!
F
Return, oh

    C                    F        C
So come all you people, come and sing with me,
C                     F                     G
Join our voices, and sing the long nights away,

All over the land, a chorus of voices will sing,
                F                  G
