Intro
A D
[Verse 1]
A D
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
A# G
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
E F#m
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory
G
But she was blind
E
The lark was blind
[Verse 2]
A D
The old king took her to his palace
A G
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
E F#m C E
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed
[Chorus]
A
"Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning
Set me free, my meadowlark
D E
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
D E
And cloth of brocade and crewel
Em
And I'll love you for life if you will
A D
Sing for me."
[Verse 3]
Amaj7 D
Than one day as the lark sang by the water
A G
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
E F#m
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
G Gmaj7
The gift of sight
E
He gave her sight
A D
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
A G
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
E F#m
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
C E
"Come along
[Chorus]
A
Fly with me, my meadowlark
Fly with me on the silver morning
Past the sea where the dolphins bark
D E
We will dance on the coral beaches
D E
Make a feast of the plums and peaches
Just as far as your vision reaches
A C#7
Fly with me."
[Verse 4]
F#m G
But the meadowlark said no
F#m G
For the old king loved her so
Em C D
She couldn't bear to wound his pride
G F# G D#m
So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day
C#m
He found his meadowlark had died
D#m E7
Every time I heard that part I cried
[Verse 5]
A D
And what can I do if finally for the first time
Amaj7 G
The one I'm burning for returns the glow?
E F#m
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
C
Still I know
E
I've got to go
[Last Chorus}
A
Fly away, meadowlark
Fly away in the silver morning
If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark
D E
So it's off where the days won't bind me
D E
I know I leave wounds behind me
A
But I won't let tomorrow find me
Back this way
D C#m E
Before my past once again can blind me
N.F A E
Fly away
F#m
And we won't wait to say goodbye
D Bm C#m C E A
My beautiful young man and I
