Intro
F# B
[Verse 1]
F# B
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
G E
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
C# D#m
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory
E
But she was blind
C#
The lark was blind
[Verse 2]
F# B
The old king took her to his palace
F# E
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
C# D#m A C#
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed
[Chorus]
F#
"Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning
Set me free, my meadowlark
B C#
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
B C#
And cloth of brocade and crewel
C#m
And I'll love you for life if you will
F# B
Sing for me."
[Verse 3]
F#maj7 B
Than one day as the lark sang by the water
F# E
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
C# D#m
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
E Emaj7
The gift of sight
C#
He gave her sight
F# B
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
F# E
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
C# D#m
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
A C#
"Come along
[Chorus]
F#
Fly with me, my meadowlark
Fly with me on the silver morning
Past the sea where the dolphins bark
B C#
We will dance on the coral beaches
B C#
Make a feast of the plums and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches
F# A#7
Fly with me."
[Verse 4]
D#m E
But the meadowlark said no
D#m E
For the old king loved her so
C#m A B
She couldn't bear to wound his pride
E D# E Cm
So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day
A#m
He found his meadowlark had died
Cm C#7
Every time I heard that part I cried
[Verse 5]
F# B
And what can I do if finally for the first time
F#maj7 E
The one I'm burning for returns the glow?
C# D#m
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
A
Still I know
C#
I've got to go
[Last Chorus}
F#
Fly away, meadowlark
Fly away in the silver morning
If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark
B C#
So it's off where the days won't bind me
B C#
I know I leave wounds behind me
F#
But I won't let tomorrow find me
Back this way
B A#m C#
Before my past once again can blind me
N.D F# C#
Fly away
D#m
And we won't wait to say goodbye
B G#m A#m A C# F#
My beautiful young man and I
