# The Girl With April In Her Eyes - Chris de Burgh
#
[Em] [A] [C] [D] [Em]
[Em]There once was a king who c[G]alled for the spring
For his [Am]world was still covered with sno[Em]w
But the sp[Em]ring had not been for he was w[G]icked and mean
In his wi[Am]nter fields nothing would grow[B7]
And when a trave[C]ller called, see[G]king help at the door
Only fo[C]od and a bed for a ni[B7]ght
He orde[Em]red his slave to tu[Am]rn her away
The gi[Em]rl with Ap[D]ril in her eyes[Em] [A] [C] [D] [Em] [A] [C] [D] [Em]
Chorus :
[Em]Ah,[Bm] au[C]tumn does she [Em]go
Through the win[G]ter's night, the wi[D]ld wind and the sn[C]ow
[Em]Hig[Bm]h, [C]autumn does she ri[Em]se
Someone he[G]lp the girl with Ap[D]ril in her e[C]ye[Em]s [A] [C] [D] [Em]
2nd verse :
She rode through the night till she came to the light
Of a humble man's home in the wood
He brought her inside, by the firelight she died
And he buried her gently and good
Oh, the morning was bright, all the world snow white
But when he came to the place where she lay
His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave
Of the girl with April in her eyes
Repeat chorus:
