Verse 1
When (G major)
I (D major) was a girl I had a favourite story (G major) (E minor)
Of (G major) the meadow -lark
(D major) who lived where the rivers wind (C major)
Her voice (C sharpdim) could (A major) match the
angels in it (B minor) s glory
But she was (C major) blind
The (A minor) lark (Asus4) was (A major) blind and (D major) an old king
came and took her to his palace (G major)
Where the (D major) wolves were banished
to graze in golden bread (C major)
And he (A major) gave her fruits and nuts
from an ivory chalice (B minor)
And he (C major) prayed (A major)
Sing for (Asus4) (D major) me, my (E minor) meadowlark
Sing for (D major) me, o 'er the silver morn (G major) ing
Set (Asus4) me (D major) free, my (G major) mead (E minor) owlark
And I'd (B minor) buy you a (G major) priceless jew (A major) el,
a (B minor) cloth of brocade and (A major) cruel
And I'd (E minor) love you for life
(Asus4) if you (A minor) would sing (D major) for me
One day a slug sang by the water (G major)
The God of the (D major) sun heard her in his (C major) flight
And her (C sharpdim) singing moved (A major) him
so he came (B minor) an d brought her
The gift of (C major) sight, (G major) he (Asus4) gave her (A major) sight
And she (D major) opened her eyes
to the shimmer and the (G major) splendor
Of this (D major) beautiful young girl
so proud and (C major) strong
Any call (A major) to the lark
with a voice both rough (B minor) and tender,
come along (C major) (A major)
Fly with (Asus4) (D major) me, my (G major) meadow lark, (E minor)
fly with (D major) me on the silver morn (Asus4) ing
Past (D major) the sea, where the (E minor) dolphins fall
We can (B minor) dance on the coral beaches (A major)
Make a (B minor) feast of the plants and (A major) peaches
(C sharpdim) Just as (E minor) far as your wishin' (A minor) reaches
Fly (Dsus4) with (D major) me
But the (B minor) meadow lord said (D major) no
For (C major) the (B minor) old king loved her (D major) so
She (C major) (A minor) couldn't bear to warn his (G major) bride
And the (B minor) songbird flew away
(D major) An (C major) d when the (B minor) king
came down that day
He (A flat minor) found his
meadowlark had (F sharp minor) died
Every (A flat minor) time I (E major) heard that (A flat minor) part,
(A major) I cried (G major)
An (Asus4) d (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 (C sharpdim) beautiful (A major) young man
appears be (B minor) fore me
Singing, (C major) come, (G major) oh, won't you (Asus4) come
(A major) Oh, (D major) what can I do if finally, for the (G major) first
The one (D major) I'm burning for returns the (C major) glow
If (C sharpdim) love has (A major) come at last,
it's picked the (B minor) worst time
Still I (C major) know, (A major) I've got to (Asus4) go
Fly away, (D major) my (E minor) meadowlark
Fly away, (D major) in the silver (Asus4) morning
If I (D major) stay, I go to (G major) curse the dark
So it's (B minor) off with the (G major) days won't (A major) bind me
I know (B minor) I leave wounds behind (A major) me
But (E minor) I won't let (D major) to morrow find (A minor) me
Back (Dsus4) this (D major) way
(F sharp minor) Fly away
(F major) (F major) (G major) (Asus4)
