Legend of a Girl Child Linda Chords by Donovan

[Cm] _ _ I will bring [Fm] you gold apples _ [Cm] and [Fm] grapes made of _
_ [Ab] _ rubies
that have [Fm] shone in the eyes of [Bb] _ _ a prince [Eb] of the [Bbm]
breeze.
[C] _ _ Bright [F] cascading [Fm] crystals, _ [Cm] _ they dance [Fm] in the _
[Cm] [Ab] sand dunes
on [Cm] the beach [F] of no [Fm] footprints, _ [Bb] _ to [Eb] harpsichord _ tunes.
[Cm] _ A [Fm] throne of white ivory, _ [C] _ [Cm] a gown of [Fm] white _ [Ab] lace
lies [Cm] still [Fm] in the magic _
[Bb] _ of a [Eb] timeless _ _ [Cm] place.
_ One [Fm] hundred small children, _
[C] _ [Cm] they laugh [Fm] at the white [Ab] _ doves
that [Cm] rest [F] on [Fm] their hands _
[Bb] with a touch [Eb] of love. _ _
[Cm] _ On the [Fm] hillside of velvet, _
[Cm] _ the children [Fm] they _ [Ab] lay down
to make fun [Fm] of the grown-ups [Bb] _ with their [Eb] silly frown. _ _
[Cm] _ And the sound [Fm] of their laughter _
[Cm] is the sound [Fm] of the green [Ab] _
sea
as [Eb] it washed [Fm] round the foot of _
[Bb] _ _ the [Eb] seashell tree. _ _
_ [Bb] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Ab] The _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ dove [F] circled [Fm]
over _ [Cm] and [F] landed in the [Fm] _
[Eb] trees
[Ab] _ [Eb] where parrots [Fm] are talking _ [Bb] _ _ their [Eb] words with such _ [C] ease.
_ [Cm] Thus [Fm] spoke three _ _ [Cm] wizards to the young [Fm] ones that day
[Ab] _ their [Cm] sadness [Fm] in the kingdom _
[Bb] _ make it go [Eb] far away. _
[C] _ [Cm] If you [F] follow the [Fm] _ _
[Cm] sunbeams through the [Fm] valley of _ _ [Ab] flowers
to the palace of [Fm] the white queen [Bb] _
with its white [Eb] jade tower
_ [Cm] The _ _ youngest she [Fm] sighed and [Cm] _
the clouds [Fm] drew away
_ [Ab] _
and a hundred [Fm] small fingers _ [Bb] scratched their heads [Eb] in dismay. _ _
[C] _ [Cm] From out [Fm] of the sun [Dm] a [C] _ [Cm] giant [Fm] girl came [Cm] flying
[Ab] _ and the [Cm] children [Fm] got ready _
_ [Bb] to sit [Eb] on its wing.
[Bbm] _ [Cm] _ _ They waved to [Fm] the _
[D] raindrops [Cm] _ as they soared through [Fm] the _ [Ab] trees.
_ The wind [Fm] tossed their hair high, [Bb] _ _ flashing gold on [Eb] the sea.
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [D] _ [Cm] They _ _ came [Fm] to the castle _ [Cm] and there they did [Fm] _ fall
[Ab] _ and they saw [Fm] all the sadness _ [Bb] through the crystal [Bbm] _ wall.
[Cm] _ _ A [Fm] princess lay sleeping _ [Cm] _ so [Fm] gentle and [Gm] kind
[Ab] _ _ [Eb] whilst her [F] prince [Fm] took to battle _ [Bb] with his [Eb] confused _ mind.
[Cm] _ The clash [Fm] of bright metal _ [Cm] _ brought the children [Fm] _ _ [Gm] fear
[Ab] _ but their [Eb] cloaks [Fm] of blue satin _ [Bb] _ dried up all [Eb] of his tears.
_ [Bbm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ Thus children [Bb] [Fm] held hands and [Cm] _ they spelt [Fm] out her _ _ [G] _ [Ab] name.
All the [Eb] golden [Bb] [Fm] children _ [Bb] became _ [D] a golden [Eb] chain.
_ [Bbm] _ [Eb] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ It lies on [Fm] the white throne _ [Cm] in a magic [Fm] _ _ _ [Ab] place
with a [Fm] tunic of velvet _ [Bb] and a gown [Eb] of white _ _ lace.
[Cm] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
My sword [Fm] it lies broken _ [Cm] and _ cast in [Fm] a lake
[Ab] _
in the dream [Fm] I was told that [Bb] _
my princess [Eb] would wake.
