Dm			   C
There once was a king who called for the spring

	Dm				Dm
For his world was still covered with snow

	  Dm				C
But the spring had not been for he was wicked and mean

	 Dm			       E7
In his winter fields nothing would grow

	        F		C		
And when a traveller called, seeking help at the door

       F		    E7	
Only food and a bed for a night

       Dm		  Dm	
He ordered his slave to turn her away

      Dm        C	       Dm  C F C Dm C F C Dm	
The girl with April in her eyes
Chorus :
Dm Em F		    Dm
Ah, autumn does she go

	       C		  C		    F	
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow

Dm Em F			Dm			
High, autumn does she rise

	  C		     C	         F Dm C F C Dm
Someone help the girl with April in her eyes
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:
