Verse 1
(D major) When I (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) was a girl,
I had a favourite (G major) story
Of the (D major) meadowlark who lived
where the rivers (C major) wind
Her (A major) voice could match the
(C sharp minor) angels' in (B minor) its glory
But she was (C major) blind
(A minor) The (G major) lark was (Asus4) blind
Verse 2
(D major) The 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 an (C sharp minor) d nuts from an ivory
(B minor) chalice and he (G major) prayed (A major)

Verse 3
(D major) me, my meadow (G major) lark
Sing (D major) for me of the silver (G major) morning
Set (D major) me free, my meadow (G major) lark
(D major) And I'll (B minor) buy you a (G major) priceless (A major) jewel
And (B minor) cloth of bro (G major) cade and (A major) crewel
And I'll (E minor) love you (G major) for life
if (A major) you will (A minor) (D major)
Sing for me." (G major)
Verse 4
Than (G major) one day (D major) as the lark
sang by the (G major) water
The (D major) god of the sun heard her
in his flight (C major)
And her singing (A major) moved him so, (C sharp minor)
he came and (B minor) brought her
The gift of (C major) sight
(Asus4) He (G major) gave her (Asus4) sight
And (D major) she opened her eyes to the
shimmer and the splendour (G major)
Of this (D major) beautiful young god,
so proud an (C major) d strong

"Come along (G major)
(Asus4) Fly with
Verse 5
(D major) me, my mead (G major) owlark
Fly (D major) with me on the silver morn (G major) ing
(D major) Past the sea where the (G major) dolphins bark
(D major) We (B minor) will dance (G major) on the coral (A major) beaches
Make (B minor) a feast of (G major) the plums (A major) and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches (Asus4)
(D major) Fly with me." (B minor) (F sharp major)
Verse 6
But the (B minor) meadowlark said (C major) no
For the (B minor) old king loved (C major) her so
(A minor) She couldn't bear
to wound his (G major) pride
So the (B minor) sun god flew (C major) away and when the
(B minor) king came down that (C major) day
He found (E major) his meadowlark (F sharp minor) had died
Every time I (C sharp minor) heard that (E major) part,
(A major) I cried (Asus4)
Verse 7
And (D major) now I stand here,
starry- eyed and (G major) stormy
Oh, (D major) just when I thought my
heart was finally (C major) numb
A (A major) beautiful young man (C sharp minor) ap
(A major) pears be (B minor) fore me
Singing (C major) "Come, (Asus4) oh,
(G major) won't you come?"
(Asus4) And (D major) what can I do if
finally for the (G major) first time
The (D major) one I'm burning for returns the (C major) glow?
If (A major) love has come at last, (C sharp minor)
it's picked the wor (B minor) st time
Still I know I've (Asus4) got to go
Verse 8
Fly away, (D major) (G major) meadowlark
Fly (D major) away in the silver (G major) morning
If (D major) I stay, I'll grow to (G major) curse the dark
So it's off where the days won't (A major) bind me
I (B minor) know I leave (G major) wounds be (A major) hind me
But I (E minor) won't let to (D major) morrow (A minor) find me
(D major) Back this way (C major) (D major)
Verse 9
Be (G major) fore (D major) my (G major) past once again (D major)
(F sharp minor) can blind (A major) (A minor) me (A major)
Fly (D major) away (D major)
(A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major)

And we won't wait to
