Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)



Intro:
G    G7   C    G    D    G

Verse 1:
            G                  G
The fairest bloom the mountain knows
          G              G7
Is not an iris or a wild rose
               C                    G
But the little flower of which I'll tell
         D           G
Known as brave acony bell

Interlude:
D    G

Verse 2:
              G                   G
Just a simple flower so small and plain
              G                      G7
With a pearly hue and a little known name
                     C                     G
But the yellow birds sing when they see it bloom
                   D                G
For they know that spring is coming soon

Interlude:
D     G     D    G    C    G    D    G

Verse 3:
                  G                          G
Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills
                    G                 G7
Where the snows lie deep on the windy hills
                 C                   G
And it tells the world "why should I wait
             D                  G
This ice and snow is gonna melt away"
            C                       G
And so I'll sing that yellow bird's song
             D
For troubled times will soon be gone

Outro:
G    G7   C    G    D    G  C  G
