Wildflower - Skylark (Doug Edwards / Dave Richardson) 1972
Intro:
|Dm Dm/C |G7/B Bb |Am |Am A |
Dm Dm/C G7/B G
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
Bb/C Bb/C F A
And many times, Her eyes fought back the tears
Dm Dm/C G7/B Bb
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Bb/C Bb/C
Each time her slender shoulders,
Bb/C Bb/C
Bore the weight of all her fears
Bb/C Bb/C
And a sorrow no one hears
Bb Am Gm D
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears
Bb C F
Let her cry for she's a lady
Bb A Dm
Let her dream for she's a child
Bb Am Gm
Let the rain fall down upon her
Bb/C Bb/C F
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild
Bb F
And if by chance I should hold her
Bb F
Let me hold her for a time
Bb F
But if allowed just one possession
Gm C F
I would pick her from the garden to be mine
Interlude:
|Dm |Dm |Dm Dm/C |G7/B Bb |
|A |A |
Dm Dm/C G7/B G
Be careful how you touch her for she'll awaken
Bb/C Bb/C F A
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
Dm Dm/C G7/B Bb
And when you walk into her eyes you won't believe
Bb/C Bb/C
The way she's always payin'
Bb/C Bb/C
For a debt she never owes
Bb/C Bb/C
And a silent wind still blows
Bb Am Gm D
That only she can hear and so, she goes
Bb C F
Let her cry for she's a lady
Bb A Dm
Let her dream for she's a child
Bb Am Gm
Let the rain fall down upon her
Bb/C Bb/C F
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild
Bb C F
Let her cry for she's a lady
Bb A Dm
Let her dream for she's a child
Bb Am Gm
Let the rain fall down upon her
Bb/C Bb/C F
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild
Gm Bb/C F
She's a flower growing wild
She's free.......
