Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 For the -D(/F)-[C] emphasise the 6th string [G],[F#],
 then 5th string C. For the rest of the chords you
 can precede the strumming of each chord by plucking
 the 5th string on the C, 4th on D and 6th on G...
Lightning  cracks the convent  mist curls  to the bells
Trees  run down to  the road protect  the convent girls
(/F) [C]
 A Sister somewhere bows her head to pray
Offer  protection,  a  place to hide away
Deep  in Sherwood Forest  the elves  keep to themselves
No  one is scarecrow  the witch  has no spells
(/F) [C]
 A map of tree tops a road that’s made of clay
It’s  hard to get  to, a place  to hide away
I’m  thinking of Mondaino  I’m thinking of Greece
I’m  thinking a walled city  to give  me my peace
(/F) [C]
 I might take up teaching I have a lot to say
At  a roundtable, at  a place to  hide away
(/F) [C]
 I might take you up on one fine sunny day
I  might take  you up to a place to hide away
