Intro 

G G7 C G D G 



            G 
The fairest bloom the mountain knows 
          G 
Is not an iris or a wild rose 
               C                    G 
But the little flower of which I'll tell 
             D           G     D G 
Known as the brave acony bell 



              G 
Just a simple flower so small and plain 
              G 
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 


Interlude 

D G D G C G D G 




                  G 
Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills 
                    G 
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
