.....This is a song about an adventure of a gaming group. It's a little bit incoherent, since it refers to specific events and people, but I rather like it, so here it is.

Jae-Jae and the Demon
Words and Music by Beth Wheeler
1993

............Em.....................D......Em
There was a bard in Kaelennar
.........................Em..........................A........Em .................................
(Green leaves will fall away)
......................D................................A..........Em.......
She wandered widely near and far
.......................Em..........................A.........B7............
(And green will bring the end of day)

In war, when things were getting worse
(Green leaves, etc.)
In ice she encased the demon horse
(And green, etc.)

King Talisman ennobled her
For being strong and brave and sure

She gave her aid the trees to find
Which once the dragon Shorr did bind

And stopping in a little inn
She found a minstrel there within

The minstrel heard a call at night
And Green Jack called him from firelight

Dame Jae-Jae tried to take him home
But found instead to Jack she'd flown

Green Jack tried Jae-Jae to entice
To turn her virtue into vice

But Jae-Jae on the gods did call
To bring about the Green Jack's fall

And now she wanders ever more
Righting wrongs as bard to Shorr

But whenever Green Jack should arise
(Green leaves will fall away)
Jae-Jae will thwart the Lord of Lies
(And green will fade before the day...)
