Verse 
Am 
Oh, there were twelve witches bold 
         C     G      Am    Em 
And they lived in the North 
          Am 
And their equals were not seen 
       C    G      C  E 
On the face of the Earth 

Verse 
    Am 
The first witch, with her hand 
    C  G        Am   Em 
The storm could hush

All the torrents rush 

Verse 
        Am           F         Am 
And the third witch, she could strike 
 F       Am F   E 
Upon the golden lyre 
        Am 
And she charmed both young and old 
         C   G   C E 
Into the dancing fire 

Am    C         G     C G 
Rowan tree, red thread 
Am               E      Am 
Hold the witches all in dread

Hold the witches all in dread

Verse 
    Am 
The fourth witch, she could dive 
       C   G    Am   Em 
In the sea as a fish 
        Am 
And the fifth witch, she never wanted 
    C    G    C    E 
Any meat on a dish 

Verse 
    Am 
And now the next witch go 
          C     G     Am  Em 
Under the earth could she 
        Am 
And the seventh witch could dance 
         C   G   C 
Upon the rolling sea 

Verse 
        Am           F      Am 
And the eighth witch on her horn 
F         Am   F E 
She would blow a blast 
    Am 
And everyone who heard 
      C           G      C  E 
Would shudder and stand aghast 

Am    C         G     C G

Oh, the ninth witch, she tamed all 
            C    G    Am    Em 
That in the greenwood crept 
        Am 
And the tenth witch, not a nap 
        C G  C  E 
She had ever slept 

Verse 
    Am 
The eleventh witch, the grisly 
C   G    Am    Em 
Lindworm bound 
        Am 
And the twelfth witch, she could all 
       C G  C 
Things understand
