You go out when
Verse 1
A
D
G
A
When a lark's song fills the moorland sky
D
G
You wait as quietly as you can
A
Bm
Em
A
And watch for where the old lark dies
D
A
And in that place you'll find the young
D
G
A
A clambering clump of skin and bone
D
G
A
You pick one up with a parson's hands
Bm
Em
A
And gently carry the bird back home
G
A
D
feed your lark on meal
G
A
An egg cake gently baked
D
G
D
A
While you watch him grow in strength
Bm
Em
A
From wood a dark box you must make
G
A
grown in strength
D
G
A
And when his feathers start to show
D
G
A
Then you must take him in the box
Bm
Em
An d back apart the boy must go
A
D
G
A
And on the moor, inside the box
D
G
A
You leave your lark the whole day long
D

In darkness and in stillness there
Bm

G
A
Your lark will learn your lark song
D
G

And when the landlord holds a sing
D
G
A
Be sure the lark men never fail

To gather in the tap room smoke
Bm
Em
A
To pit their larks and drink his egg
D
G
A
You take your dark box to the window
D
G
A
Cover the lid with a piece of cloth
D
G
A
Then slide out the lid, your luck will rise
Bm
Em
A
And pluck some issue from a box
D
G
A
He will be judged by length of song
D
G
A
And just how soon he starts to sing
D
G
A
And sweetness, too, if he does best
Bm
Em
G
A
A cup o' kettle you may whip
D
G
D
A
An d as you make your way back home
D
G
A
As with your luck, the more you cross
D
G
Ponder, my friend, how liberty
A
Bm
Em
A
Is dearly won and eas ily lost.
