Verse 1
When (D major) I was a girl,
I had a favorite story (G major)
Of the (D major) meadowlark who lived
Where the rivers (C major) wind
Her (A major) voice could match the
Angels' in (B minor) it's glory (G major)
but she (C major) was blind
(Asus4) The lark was blind
Verse 2
The (D major) king of the rivers took
her to (G major) his palace
Where the (D major) walls were burnished
Bronze and golden (C major) braid
And he (A major) fed her fruit and
Nuts from an ivory (B minor) chalice
and (C major) he prayed (Asus4)
(A major) "Sing for (D major) me, my (G major) meadowlark
Sing (D major) for me of the silver (G major) morning
Set (D major) me free, my mead (G major) owlark
And I'll (B minor) buy you a priceless (G major) (A major) jewel
And cloth (B minor) of bro (G major) cade and (A major) crewel
And I'll (E minor) love you for (G major) life (A minor) if you will (D major)
Sing for me" (G major)
Verse 3
Than (D major) one day as the lark
sang by (G major) the water
The (D major) god of the sun heard
her in his (C major) flight
And her (A major) singing moved him so
He came (B minor) and brought her the gift (C major) of sight
(G major) He gave (Asus4) her sight
Verse 4
And she (D major) opened her eyes to
The shimmer and (G major) the splendor
Of this (D major) beautiful young god
So proud (C major) and strong
And he (A major) called to the lark in
A voice both rough (B minor) and tender
"Come (C major) along (A minor)
(Asus4) Fly
Verse 5
(D major) with me, my (G major) meadowlark
Fly (D major) with me on the silver (G major) morning
Pas (A major) t the sea (D major) where (G major) the dolphins bark
We will dance on the coral beaches (A major)
Make a (B minor) feast of the (G major) plums
and peaches (A major)
Just as (E minor) far as your vis (A minor) ion reaches (D major)
Fly with me" (F sharpsus4) (F sharp major) but the
(B minor) meadowlark said no (C major)
For the (B minor) old king loved (C major) her so
(A minor) She couldn't bear (F major) to (D minor) wound (G major) his pride
So the (B minor) sun god flew away (C major)
And when the (B minor) king came
down (C major) that day (A flat minor)
He found his meadowlark had (F sharp minor) died
(A flat minor) Every time I heard that part (A major) I cried
Verse 6
And (D major) now I stand here,
starry- eyed an (G major) d stormy
How, just (D major) when I thought my
Heart was finally (C major) numb
A (A major) beautiful young man
appears (B minor) before me
Singing (C major) "Come (G major) oh, (Asus4) won't you come?"
(A major) And
Verse 7
(D major) what can I do if, finally
For (G major) the first time
The (D major) one I'm burning for return (C major) s the glow?
If (A major) love has come at last
It's picked (B minor) the worst time still (F major) I know
(A minor) I've got to (G major) go
Fly (Asus4)
Verse 8
(D major) away, (G major) meadowlark
Fly (A major) away (D major) in the silver (A major) (G major) morning
If I (D major) stay, I'll grow to (G major) curse the dark
So it's off where the days
won't (A major) bind me
I know (B minor) I leave wounds (G major) be (A major) hind me
But I (E minor) won't let tomor (A minor) row find me (D major)
Back this way (C major) (D major)
Be (B minor) fore (G major) my past once again (F sharp minor)
can (A minor) blind me (Asus4) (G major)
Fly away (G major) (A major)
(D major) (A major) (D major) (A major)
Verse 9
And we won't wait to say
goodbye (B major)
My (B minor) (G major) beautiful young (E minor) (F sharp minor) man (F major)
(G major) (Asus4) an (G major) d (D major) I (A major)
(D major) (A major) (G major) (D major)
