Lapwings

      C              Em F 
There came a pair of lapwings 
C      Am      Dm        G 
Flying north towards the sea 
C             Em      F 
Following the call of spring 
      C       Em        F 
Where my love waits for me 
C  Am   G         F 
My love waits for me 



    C                 Em  F 
And soon they will be wheeling 
     C        Am       Dm      G 
O'er northern moss and eastern fen 
      C           Em   F 
Their tiny voices squealing 
C           Em    F 
Last year's song again 
C    Am     G     F 
Last year's song again 



            C        Em F 
Oh Lord, if I were a lapwing 
    C     Am      Dm      G 
And not a soldier lost in fear 
    C            Em        F 
I'd fill my tiny lungs and sing 
    C   Em       F 
And fly far from here 
C   Am  G        F 
And fly far from here 



      C              Em F 
There came a pair of lapwings 
C      Am      Dm        G 
Flying north towards the sea 
C             Em      F 
Following the call of spring 
      C       Em        F 
Where my love waits for me 
C  Am   G         F 
My love waits for me
