Meadowlarks Lyrics

"MEADOWLARKS" off LP "Fleet Foxes"(2008)
This is only Guitar and voices, so quite a simple song, but very beautiful.
--INTRO (fingerpicking):
--VERSE 1:
Meadowlark, fly away down
I hold a cornucopia and a golden crown
For you to wear upon your fleecy down
us2
A meadow lark sing to me
aj7
--VERSE 2: same guitar part.
Hummingbird, just let me down
Inside the broken oth of your oliva (lyrics?!?)
I do believe you gave it your best try
A hummingbird sing to me
--BREAK: same chords + guitar part as verse, with "harmony humming"
maj7/maj7/m
A hummingbird sing to me
--NEW SECTION:
Don't believe a word that I haven't heard
Little children laughing at the boys and girl
aj7
The meadow lark singing to you each and every day
The arclad on the hills and the market in the hay
After this point, where the "oohs" come in, it is a combination of Gm chord
and C chord (either sounds great) strumming, with this on the top, repeated:
The song ends on a G major chord.
Enjoy, and please comment/rate!
