D

Verse 1:
D                                           A       G
She lived alone in a little home by the Township of King
D                                              A       G
In the morning she'd feed the birds and listen to them sing
D                                                    A     G
From the woods they flocked to her knowing she would do no harm
D                                             A       G
Flying over the patchwork quilt of the fields and the farms
C      G          D
Of the fields and farms, oh yeah

Verse 2:
D                                 A      G
Then one day a yellow bird landed on her hand
D                                        A    G
Devoted it sang to her so that she could understand
D                                                     A         G
It warned of the trucks coming up the road full of concrete and steel
D                                       A        G
Come to cut down all the trees and pave over the fields
C      G          D
                    Oh oh

Come come we'll find a way

Verse 3:
D                                                  A        G
They will build an amusement park where the forest once did stand
D                                                A     G
With gypsum build a mountain and they'll call it Wonderland
D                                               A         G
I will feed you and care for you until you are strong and tall
D                                               A          G
Then I will climb upon your back and we'll fly away in the fall
C          G   D
We'll fly away, fly away

Verse 4:
D                                           A          G
Then one day they flew away and it was the strangest thing
D                                                     A       G
To watch them all fly as she waved goodbye to the Township of King

To the Township of King, oh yeah
