There [[Em]]once was a king, who [[G]]called for the spring,
For his [[Am]]world was still covered with [[Em]]snow,
But the [[Em]]spring had not been, for he was [[G]]wicked and mean,
In his [[Am]]winter fields nothing would [[B7]]grow;
And when a [[C]]traveller called, seeking [[G]]help at the door,
Only [[C]]food and a bed for a [[B7]]night,
He [[Em]]ordered his slave to [[Am]]turn her away,
The [[Em]]girl with [[D]]April in her [[Em]]eyes...

[[Em]]Oh, oh, [[Bm]]oh, [[C]]on and on she [[Em]]goes,
Through the [[G]]winter's night, the [[D]]wild wind and the [[C]]snow,
[[Em]]Hi, hi, [[Bm]]hi, [[C]]on and on she [[Em]]rides,
Someone [[G]]help the girl with [[D]]April in her [[C]]eyes...

She [[Em]]rode through the night 'till she [[G]]came to the light,
Of a [[Am]]humble man's home in the [[Em]]woods,
He [[Em]]brought her inside, by the [[G]]firelight she died,
And he [[Am]]buried her gently and [[B7]]good;
Oh the [[C]]morning was bright, all the [[G]]world snow-white,
But when he [[C]]came to the place where she [[B7]]lay,
His [[Em]]field was ablaze with [[Am]]flowers on the grave,
Of the [[Em]]girl with [[D]]April in her [[Em]]eyes...
[[Em]]Oh, oh, [[Bm]]oh, [[C]]on and on she [[Em]]goes,
Through the [[G]]winter's night, the [[D]]wild wind and the [[C]]snow,
[[Em]]Hi, hi, [[Bm]]hi, [[C]]on and on she [[Em]]flies,
She is [[G]]gone, the girl with [[D]]April in her [[C]]eyes...
