Intro
E A
[Verse 1]
E A
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
F D
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
B C#m
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory
D
But she was blind
B
The lark was blind
[Verse 2]
E A
The old king took her to his palace
E D
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
B C#m G B
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed
[Chorus]
E
"Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning
Set me free, my meadowlark
A B
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
A B
And cloth of brocade and crewel
Bm
And I'll love you for life if you will
E A
Sing for me."
[Verse 3]
Emaj7 A
Than one day as the lark sang by the water
E D
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
B C#m
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
D Dmaj7
The gift of sight
B
He gave her sight
E A
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
E D
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
B C#m
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
G B
"Come along
[Chorus]
E
Fly with me, my meadowlark
Fly with me on the silver morning
Past the sea where the dolphins bark
A B
We will dance on the coral beaches
A B
Make a feast of the plums and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches
E G#7
Fly with me."
[Verse 4]
C#m D
But the meadowlark said no
C#m D
For the old king loved her so
Bm G A
She couldn't bear to wound his pride
D C# D A#m
So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day
G#m
He found his meadowlark had died
A#m B7
Every time I heard that part I cried
[Verse 5]
E A
And what can I do if finally for the first time
Emaj7 D
The one I'm burning for returns the glow?
B C#m
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
G
Still I know
B
I've got to go
[Last Chorus}
E
Fly away, meadowlark
Fly away in the silver morning
If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark
A B
So it's off where the days won't bind me
A B
I know I leave wounds behind me
E
But I won't let tomorrow find me
Back this way
A G#m B
Before my past once again can blind me
N.C E B
Fly away
C#m
And we won't wait to say goodbye
A F#m G#m G B E
My beautiful young man and I
