Oh my Wayland,
         A
There's deer in the forests
                        Gm
And rivers are flowing just for you.
 
Cm     Ab
Oh my father
      Cm
look down through the mountains and valleys
                    G7
The grain's in the silo

All for you.

N.C.      C
One fine morning
                  Csus2
As Dad was walking
        Eb       Dm       G7
Just to see what he could see
 
    C   Csus2 C
He spied
               Csus2
A little white rabbit
        Eb        Dm               G7
He was frozen as solid as he could be
 
         C   Csus2
And dad cried
       C           Csus2
As he knelt down beside him
 
        C    Eb              Dm  Bb     G7
And he asked God, "How could you be so cruel?"
 
         C         C5
And his heart broke,
                            C
For the little white rabbit
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          F            G
"But you see that the owl
       Am                 C
Would never have been so gentle
               C5
And God is so kind."
 
 
[Chorus]
        C
I love Wayland 'cause he's strong.
       Bb   F               C5
And I love him 'cause he's weak.
         Bbm   F        Fm  F
And the rabbit is runniiing
    Csus2  C5
Withiiiiin him.

Oh my Wayland,
 
The children are waiting
                            Gm
And berries are ripe down below the hill.
 
Cm      C
Oh, my father,
                Cm                      C
The shadows of nighttime can't touch you.
 
Immortal go quickly
                          G7
Be thankful the water is cool.
            C   C5
Drink your fill.
 
 
[Verse]
            C
Today as I walked 'long beside him
         Eb         Dm   D      G7
I said, "Dad why do you look so sad?"
 
    C                        Csus2  Csus4 C
He turned as he stood by the doorway,
           Eb             Dm       Bbm     G7
he said, "Things are not like they used to be."
 
 
   C     C5
I smiled,
              Csus2
As if I could teach him.
        Eb         Dm          G7
I said "Dad, it's mercy in disguise.
 
          C      Csus2
Once you told me
                  Csus2   C
Of a little white rabbit,
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         F             G
And you said that the owl
       Am                Gsus4
Would never have been so gentle
     G             C   C5
And God's been so kind."
 
 
[Chorus]
       C
And I love you 'cause you're strong.
       Bb   F                 C
And I love you 'cause you're weak.
 
          Bbm  F
And the rabbit is running
    C5  C
Within  me.
