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
