Intro
B E
[Verse 1]
B E
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
C A
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
F# G#m
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory
A
But she was blind
F#
The lark was blind
[Verse 2]
B E
The old king took her to his palace
B A
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
F# G#m D F#
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed
[Chorus]
B
"Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning
Set me free, my meadowlark
E F#
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
E F#
And cloth of brocade and crewel
F#m
And I'll love you for life if you will
B E
Sing for me."
[Verse 3]
Bmaj7 E
Than one day as the lark sang by the water
B A
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
F# G#m
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
A Amaj7
The gift of sight
F#
He gave her sight
B E
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
B A
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
F# G#m
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
D F#
"Come along
[Chorus]
B
Fly with me, my meadowlark
Fly with me on the silver morning
Past the sea where the dolphins bark
E F#
We will dance on the coral beaches
E F#
Make a feast of the plums and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches
B D#7
Fly with me."
[Verse 4]
G#m A
But the meadowlark said no
G#m A
For the old king loved her so
F#m D E
She couldn't bear to wound his pride
A G# A Fm
So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day
D#m
He found his meadowlark had died
Fm F#7
Every time I heard that part I cried
[Verse 5]
B E
And what can I do if finally for the first time
Bmaj7 A
The one I'm burning for returns the glow?
F# G#m
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
D
Still I know
F#
I've got to go
[Last Chorus}
B
Fly away, meadowlark
Fly away in the silver morning
If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark
E F#
So it's off where the days won't bind me
E F#
I know I leave wounds behind me
B
But I won't let tomorrow find me
Back this way
E D#m F#
Before my past once again can blind me
N.G B F#
Fly away
G#m
And we won't wait to say goodbye
E C#m D#m D F# B
My beautiful young man and I
