Intro
D G
[Verse 1]
D G
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
D# C
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
A Bm
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory
C
But she was blind
A
The lark was blind
[Verse 2]
D G
The old king took her to his palace
D C
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
A Bm F A
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed
[Chorus]
D
"Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning
Set me free, my meadowlark
G A
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
G A
And cloth of brocade and crewel
Am
And I'll love you for life if you will
D G
Sing for me."
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7 G
Than one day as the lark sang by the water
D C
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
A Bm
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
C Cmaj7
The gift of sight
A
He gave her sight
D G
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
D C
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
A Bm
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
F A
"Come along
[Chorus]
D
Fly with me, my meadowlark
Fly with me on the silver morning
Past the sea where the dolphins bark
G A
We will dance on the coral beaches
G A
Make a feast of the plums and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches
D F#7
Fly with me."
[Verse 4]
Bm C
But the meadowlark said no
Bm C
For the old king loved her so
Am F G
She couldn't bear to wound his pride
C B C G#m
So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day
F#m
He found his meadowlark had died
G#m A7
Every time I heard that part I cried
[Verse 5]
D G
And what can I do if finally for the first time
Dmaj7 C
The one I'm burning for returns the glow?
A Bm
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
F
Still I know
A
I've got to go
[Last Chorus}
D
Fly away, meadowlark
Fly away in the silver morning
If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark
G A
So it's off where the days won't bind me
G A
I know I leave wounds behind me
D
But I won't let tomorrow find me
Back this way
G F#m A
Before my past once again can blind me
N.A# D A
Fly away
Bm
And we won't wait to say goodbye
G Em F#m F A D
My beautiful young man and I
