The Meadow Lark Chords by Owl City

[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ Upon a winding [Ab] forest [Eb] road _ _ _ I met a soldier [Ab] far [Bb] from home
_ _ _ [Cm] I saw he was [Abm] my [Eb] enemy _ _ _ So [Ab] I aimed at him and [Eb] he at _ me
_ _ _ Prepared was I [Ab] but loathe [Eb] to shoot _ _ _ And he uncertain [Ab] what [Eb] to [Bb] do
A _ [Gm] cold [Cm] sweat formed [Ab] upon [Eb] my brow _ But [Ab] we both [Eb] kept rank and stood our ground
_ _ _ And then the curious [Ab] thing [Eb] occurred _ _ _ On wings arrived [Ab] a tiny [Eb] [Bb] bird
_ _ _ [Gm] And [Cm] troubled not by [Ab] [Eb] war or peace _ _ [Ab] She sang for [Eb] us a melody _

_ _ [Ab] I _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] dare not move [Bb] or look [F] away _ _ _ _ Lest my life [Bb] my foe [C] would take
_ _ _ [Dm] Yet in his eyes [Bb] I saw his [F] fright, _ _ _ [Bb] Just a boy like me, [C] afraid [F] to die.
_ _ _ The _ meadowlark sang on and on, _ _ _ Then more arrived and joined [C] the song,
_ _ _ [Dm] And as I held [Bb] my [F] rival's stare, _ _ _ [Bb] A tremendous [F] chorus filled the air.
_ _ _ Then in my heart as clear as day, _ _ I heard a gentle [Bb] whisper [C] say,
_ _ _ [Dm] My son, if my [Bb] [F] disciple be, _ _ _ [Bb] Show grace and [F] love your enemy.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] Oh, [Bb] oh, [F] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [Dm] oh, oh, [G] oh, [C] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [F] oh, oh, oh. _
[Bb] _ _ We [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] swell of bird song all around, _ _ _ _ _ Lowered I my rifle [D] down,
_ _ _ [Em] And as my foe [C] took aim [G] at me, _ _ I [C] showed him yield [G] on bended [Eb] knee.
_ _ [Dm] _ [G] He faltered then and shook with fear _ And _ from his eye [C] he wiped [D] a tear
_ _ His [Em] gaze was there as [C] a brother [G] _ burned _ _ [C] Then he turned [G] and he was gone
