Track 9 from "REVIVAL" (ALMO, AMSD-80006)

CAPO 7

VERSE 1:

C

The fairest bloom the mountain knows

Is not an iris or a wild rose

F C

But the little flower of which I'll tell

G C

Known as the brave acony bell

VERSE 2:

Just a simple flower so small and plain

With a pearly hue and a little known name

But the yellow birds sing when they see it bloom

For they know that spring is coming soon

VERSE 3:

Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills

Where the snows lie deep on the windy hills

And it tells the world Why should I wait

This ice and snow is gonna melt away.

VERSE 4:

And so I'll sing that yellow bird's song

For the troubled times will soon be gone
