C
[Verse]
C
She would dance like a firefly
F C
Like she's floating through the air
C
Shining star in an endless sky
F C
She could sparkle anywhere
[Verse]
G C F
The young men came from far and near
G C F
To offer flowers, each in his turn
G C F
And they would promise their undying devotion
G C
For her love in return
[Verse]
C
And the first who stood before her
F C
Was a builder by his trade
C
His back was strong, his hands were gentle
F C
He showed her the things he made
[Verse]
G C F
I will build you a house in the valley
G C F
Where the stream flows swiftly by
G C F
And on the banks of the sweet primroses
G C
You and I will lie
[Verse]
C
And the next to make his declaration
F C
Was a young man of high renown
C
Standing keen in expectation
F C
He would not be undone
[Verse]
G C F
I will give you gold and riches
G C F
A diamond ring for your fair hand
G C F
Every wish you crave will be granted
G C
And I will be at your command
[Instrumental]
C
[Verse]
C
A wandering minstrel on his travels
F C
Chanced to pass along her way
C
He sang her songs of sweet affection
F C
And with his charms he held her sway
[Verse]
G C F
I have no house to offer you
G C F
Nor money have I none
G C F
But you will be my poetry
G C
And I will be your song
[Verse]
C
And so it came they took a winding road
F C
And cast their cares upon the wind
C
To see the days and sing the seasons
F C
And never asking what lay beyond
[Verse]
G C F
Her jewels were the words he sang for her
G C F
Her house a broad oak tree
G C F
Her joy was but a simple dream
G C
That flowers when it's free
[Instrumental]
C
[Verse]
C
She can dance like a firefly
F C
And she's floating through the air
C
A shining star in an endless sky
F C
She can sparkle anywhere
[Verse]
G C F
Her jewels are the words he sings for her
G C F
Her house a broad oak tree
G C F
Her joy is but a simple dream
G C
That flowers now it's free
