Acony Bell
Gillian Welch
G
The fairest bloom the mountain knows
G7
Is not an iris or a wild rose
C G
But the little flower of which I’ll tell
D7 G
Known as the brave acony bell
G
Just a simple flower so small and plain
G7
With a pearly hue and a little known name
C G
But the yellow birds sing when they see it bloom
D G
For they know that spring is coming soon
G
Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills
G7
Where the snow lies deep on the windy hills
C G
And it tells the world "why should I wait
D G
This ice and snow is gonna melt away"
C G
And so i'll sing that yellow bird's song
D G
For the troubled times will soon be gone
