IntroEmACDEmACDEmVerse 1EmG
There once was a king who called for the spring
AmDEm
For his world was still covered with snow
EmG
But the spring had not been for he was wicked and mean
AmDB7
In his winter fields nothing would grow
CG
And when a traveller called, seeking help at the door
CGB7
Only food and a bed for a night
EmAm
He ordered his slave to turn her away
GDEmACDEmACDEm
The girl with April in her eyes
ChorusEmBmCEm
Oh, oh, on and on she goes,
GDCD
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow
EmBmCEm
Hi, hi, on and on she rides,
GDCEmACDEm
Someone help the girl with April in her eyes
Verse 2
She rode through the night till she came to the light
Of a humble man's home in the wood
He brought her inside, by the firelight she died
And he buried her gently and good
Oh, the morning was bright, all the world snow white
But when he came to the place where she lay
His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave
Of the girl with April in her eyes
Chorus
Oh, oh, on and on she goes,
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow,
Hi, hi, on and on she flies,
She is gone, the girl with April in her eyes...
