The Girl With April In Her Eyes - Chris de Burgh

Em A C D Em

Em G

There once was a king who called for the spring

Am Em

For his world was still covered with snow

Em G

But the spring had not been for he was wicked and mean

Am B7

In his winter fields nothing would grow

C G

And when a traveller called, seeking help at the door

C B7

Only food and a bed for a night

Em Am

He ordered his slave to turn her away

Em D Em A C D Em A C D Em

The girl with April in her eyes

Chorus :

Em Bm C Em

Ah, autumn does she go

G D C

Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow

Em Bm C Em

High, autumn does she rise

G D C Em A C D Em

Someone help the girl with April in her eyes

2nd verse :

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

Repeat chorus:
