_ _ _ _ _ There once was a king _ [G] who called for the spring, [A] for his world [D] was still covered [Em] in snow.
_ _ But the spring had not been, [G] for he was wicked and mean.
[Am] In his winter [D] fields nothing [B] would grow.
_ And [C] when a traveler called, [G] seeking help at the door, [C] only food [G] and a bed for [B] the night,
_ _ [Em] he ordered his slave [Am] to turn her away, [G] a girl [D] with April [Em] in her _ _
_ _ [A] eyes.

_ She rode through the night, [G] till she came to the light, [A] of a [Am] humble [D] man's home [Em] in the woods. _
_ _ He brought her inside, [G] by the firelight she died, [Am] and he buried [D] her gently [B] and good. _
Oh, [C] the morning was bright, all [G] the world snow white, but [C] when he came to [G] the place where she [B] lay, _ _
his [Em] field was ablaze, _ [Am] with flowers on the grave, [G] of a girl with [D] April [Em] in her eyes.
Ah, [A] ah, ah, ah.
