Intro
C F
[Verse 1]
C F
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
C# A#
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
G Am
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory
A#
But she was blind
G
The lark was blind
[Verse 2]
C F
The old king took her to his palace
C A#
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
G Am D# G
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed
[Chorus]
C
"Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning
Set me free, my meadowlark
F G
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
F G
And cloth of brocade and crewel
Gm
And I'll love you for life if you will
C F
Sing for me."
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7 F
Than one day as the lark sang by the water
C A#
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
G Am
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
A# A#maj7
The gift of sight
G
He gave her sight
C F
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
C A#
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
G Am
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
D# G
"Come along
[Chorus]
C
Fly with me, my meadowlark
Fly with me on the silver morning
Past the sea where the dolphins bark
F G
We will dance on the coral beaches
F G
Make a feast of the plums and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches
C E7
Fly with me."
[Verse 4]
Am A#
But the meadowlark said no
Am A#
For the old king loved her so
Gm D# F
She couldn't bear to wound his pride
A# A A# F#m
So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day
Em
He found his meadowlark had died
F#m G7
Every time I heard that part I cried
[Verse 5]
C F
And what can I do if finally for the first time
Cmaj7 A#
The one I'm burning for returns the glow?
G Am
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
D#
Still I know
G
I've got to go
[Last Chorus}
C
Fly away, meadowlark
Fly away in the silver morning
If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark
F G
So it's off where the days won't bind me
F G
I know I leave wounds behind me
C
But I won't let tomorrow find me
Back this way
F Em G
Before my past once again can blind me
N.G# C G
Fly away
Am
And we won't wait to say goodbye
F Dm Em D# G C
My beautiful young man and I
