Acony Bell


Capo VII

Intro: (C)(C7)(F)(C)(G)(C)

The fairest (C)bloom the mountain knows
Is not an iris or a wild rose(C7)
But the little (F)flower of which I'll (C)tell
Known as the (G)brave acony (C)bell (G)(C)

Just a simple flower so small and plain
With pearly hue and a little known name(C7)
But the yellow birds (F)sings when they see it (C)bloom
For they know that (G)spring is coming (C)soon (G)(C)

(G)(C)(C7)(F)(C)(G)(C)

Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills
Where the snow lie deep on the windy hills(C7)
And it tells the (F)world "Why should I (C)wait
This ice and (G)snow is gonna melt a(C)way"
And so I'll (F)sing that yellow bird's (C)song
For the troubled (G)times will soon be gone
