    Acony Bell - Gillian Welch/David Rawlings

    Revival - song 9 alt chords in ()

    Intro: Capo VII

    Open C tuning = CGCGCE (prob not how they did it but it kinda works)

    (G)C (x12)   (G7)C7 (x4)

    (C)F (G)C (D)G (G)C

     

    The fairest (G)C bloom the mountain knows

    Is not an iris or a wild rose (G7)C7

    But the little (C)F flower of which I'll (G)C tell

    Known as the (D)G brave acony (G)C bell (D)G

    (G)C Just a simple flower so small and plain

    With pearly hue and a little known name (G7)C7

    But the yellow birds (C)F sings when they see it (G)C bloom

    For they know that (D)G spring is coming (G)C soon

    (D)G (G)C (D)G (G)C

    (C)F (G)C (D)G (G)C

     

    (G)C Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills

    Where the snow lie deep on the windy hills (G7)C7

    And it tells the (C)F world "Why should I (G)C wait

    This ice and (D)G snow is gonna melt a(G)C way"

    And so I'll (C)F sing that yellow bird's (G)C song

    For the troubled (D)G times (STOP) will soon be gone
