Verse 1
(F sharp major) When I (B major) (F sharp major) (B major)
(F sharp major) was a girl,
I had a favourite (B major) story
Of the (F sharp major) meadowlark who lived
where the rivers (E major) wind
Her (C sharp major) voice could match the
(E sharp minor) angels' in (D sharp minor) its glory
But she was (E major) blind
(C sharp minor) The (B major) lark was (C sharpsus4) blind
Verse 2
(F sharp major) The king of the rivers took
her to (B major) his palace
Where the (F sharp major) walls were burnished
bronze and golden (E major) braid
And he (C sharp major) fed her fruit an (E sharp minor) d nuts from an ivory
(D sharp minor) chalice and he (B major) prayed (C sharp major)
(C sharpsus4) "Sing for

Verse 3
(F sharp major) me, my meadow (B major) lark
Sing (F sharp major) for me of the silver (B major) morning
Set (F sharp major) me free, my meadow (B major) lark
(F sharp major) And I'll (D sharp minor) buy you a (B major) priceless (C sharp major) jewel
And (D sharp minor) cloth of bro (B major) cade and (C sharp major) crewel
And I'll (G sharp minor) love you (B major) for life
if (C sharp major) you will (C sharp minor) (F sharp major)
Sing for me." (B major)
Verse 4
Than (B major) one day (F sharp major) as the lark
sang by the (B major) water
The (F sharp major) god of the sun heard her
in his flight (E major)
And her singing (C sharp major) moved him so, (E sharp minor)
he came and (D sharp minor) brought her
The gift of (E major) sight
(C sharpsus4) He (B major) gave her (C sharpsus4) sight
And (F sharp major) she opened her eyes to the
shimmer and the splendour (B major)
Of this (F sharp major) beautiful young god,
so proud an (E major) d strong
And he (C sharp major) called to the lark in (E sharp minor) a voice
both rough (D sharp minor) and tender
"Come along (B major)
(C sharpsus4) Fly with
Verse 5
(F sharp major) me, my mead (B major) owlark
Fly (F sharp major) with me on the silver morn (B major) ing
(F sharp major) Past the sea where the (B major) dolphins bark
(F sharp major) We (D sharp minor) will dance (B major) on the coral (C sharp major) beaches
Make (D sharp minor) a feast of (B major) the plums (C sharp major) and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches (C sharpsus4)
(F sharp major) Fly with me." (D sharp minor) (A sharp major)
Verse 6
But the (D sharp minor) meadowlark said (E major) no
For the (D sharp minor) old king loved (E major) her so
(C sharp minor) She couldn't bear
to wound his (B major) pride
So the (D sharp minor) sun god flew (E major) away and when the
(D sharp minor) king came down that (E major) day
He found (G sharp major) his meadowlark (A sharp minor) had died
Every time I (E sharp minor) heard that (G sharp major) part,
(C sharp major) I cried (C sharpsus4)
Verse 7
And (F sharp major) now I stand here,
starry- eyed and (B major) stormy
Oh, (F sharp major) just when I thought my
heart was finally (E major) numb
A (C sharp major) beautiful young man (E sharp minor) ap
(C sharp major) pears be (D sharp minor) fore me
Singing (E major) "Come, (C sharpsus4) oh,
(B major) won't you come?"
(C sharpsus4) And (F sharp major) what can I do if
finally for the (B major) first time
The (F sharp major) one I'm burning for returns the (E major) glow?
If (C sharp major) love has come at last, (E sharp minor)
it's picked the wor (D sharp minor) st time
Still I know I've (C sharpsus4) got to go
Verse 8
Fly away, (F sharp major) (B major) meadowlark
Fly (F sharp major) away in the silver (B major) morning
If (F sharp major) I stay, I'll grow to (B major) curse the dark
So it's off where the days won't (C sharp major) bind me
I (D sharp minor) know I leave (B major) wounds be (C sharp major) hind me
But I (G sharp minor) won't let to (F sharp major) morrow (C sharp minor) find me
(F sharp major) Back this way (E major) (F sharp major)
Verse 9
Be (B major) fore (F sharp major) my (B major) past once again (F sharp major)
(A sharp minor) can blind (C sharp major) (C sharp minor) me (C sharp major)
Fly (F sharp major) away (F sharp major)
(C sharp major) (F sharp major) (C sharp major) (F sharp major) (C sharp major)
Verse 10
And we won't wait to
say (F sharp major) good bye (C sharp major) (D sharp minor)
My beautiful (B major) (G sharp minor) young (A sharp minor) man an (C sharpsus4)
d (B major) (C sharpsus4) I
