Owl City – The Meadow Lark (Guitar)

 D             G      D
Upon a winding forest road

  D             G        A
I met a soldier far from home

  Bm            G  D
I saw he was my enemy

     G                A     D
So I aimed at him and he at me

   D                G        D
Prepared was I, but loath to shoot

    D             G       A
And he, uncertain what to do

  Bm                 G      D
A cold sweat formed upon my brow

       G                  A         D
But we both kept rank and stood our ground

    D                 G       D
And then, the curious thing occurred

   D               G    A
On wings arrived a tiny bird

    Bm              G      D
And troubled not by war or peace

    A             G   D
She sang for us a melody

[Chorus]
      G     D         Bm    A
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

        G       Bm      A
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

      G     D         Bm    A
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

        G                       A       D    G  A D
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

  E               A     E
I did not move or look away

E                A         B
Lest my life, my foe would take

    C#m            A       E
Yet in his eyes, I saw his fright

       A            B        E
Just a boy like me afraid to die

    E               A      E
The meadowlark sang on and on

     E                A          B
Then more arrived and joined the song

    C#m          A     E
And as I held my rival stare

  A                 B          E
A tremendous chorus filled the air

     E               A        E
Then in my heart, as clear as day

  E              A       B
I heard a gentle whisper say

   C#m           A     E
My son, if my disciple be

     A                   B  E
Show grace and love your enemy

[Chorus]
      A     E         C#m   B
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

        A       C#m     B
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

      A     E         C#m   B
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

        A                       B       D   B
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

     F#                  B    F#
With swell of birds sung all around

F#           B     C#
Lowered I my rifle down

    D#m            B      F#
And as my foe took aim at me

  B                   C#     D    E
I showed him yield on bended knee

   F#                B          F#
He faltered then and shook with fear

    F#               B       C#
And from his eye, he wiped a tear

    D#m           B        F#
His gaze was as a brothers bond

    B                   C#     F#
And then, he turned and he was gone

[Chorus]
      B     F#        D#m   C#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

        B       D#m     C#
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

      B     F#        D#m   C#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

        B                       C#      D#m
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

        B                       C#      F#
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

   F#               B        F#
If I should live to see more days

  F#               B        C#
I pray the Lord to guide my ways

     D#m              B  F#
With grace to love my enemy

    B                C#        F#
For grace, my Savior showed to me

     D#m              B  F#
With grace to love my enemy

    B                C#        B
For grace, my Savior showed to me
