(Eb6)Sky

(Fm7)lark,

Won’t you (Eb)tell me where my (Eb)love can be?

Is there a mead ow in the (Eb)mist,

where some one’s (Fm7)wait ing to be (Bb7)kissed?

(Eb6)Sky

(Fm7)lark,

have you (Ab)seen a val ley (Ebmaj7)green with spring,

where my (Eb)heart can go a (Eb)jour ney ing

o ver the shad ows and the (Eb)mist,

where some one’s (Fm7)wait ing to be (Bb7)kissed?

(Bb)rain to a blos som cov ered (Eb6)lane?

And in your (Ab)lone ly flight,

have n’t you (Eb7)heard the mu sic (Ab)in the night,

won der ful (C7)mu sic (Fm7)faint as a (Db7)will o’ the wisp, (Fm7)cra zy (Eb)as a (Ab)loon,
