Legend of a Girl Child Linda
guitar chords lyrics
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
I will bring you gold apples and grapes made of ruu--bies
Fm A#
That have shone in the eyes of a prince of the breeze.
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
Bright cascading crystals, they danced in the saaand dunes
Fm A#
On the beach of no footprints to harpsichord tunes.
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
A throne of white ivory, a gown of white laaaace
Fm A#
Lies still in the magic of a timeless place.
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
One hundred small children, they laugh at the whiiiiite doves
Fm A#
That rest on their hands with the touch of love.
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
On a hillside of velvet the children theeeeey lay down
Fm A#
And make fun of the grown-ups with their silly frown.
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
And the sound of their laughter is the sound of the greeeen sea
Fm A#
As it washed around the foot of the seashell tree.
[ Orchestration ]
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
The doves circle over and land in the treeees
Fm A#
Where parrots are talking their words with such ease.
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
Thus spoke three wizards to the young ones that daaay:
Fm A#
"There's sadness in the kingdom, make it go far away."
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
If you follow the sunbeams through the valley of floooowers
Fm A#
To the palace of the White Queen with its white jade towers.
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
The youngest, she sighed then the clouds drew awaaaay
Fm A#
And a hundred small fingers scratched their heads in dismay.
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
From out of the sun a giant gull came flyyying
Fm A#
And the children got ready to sit on its wings.
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
They waved to the raindrops as they soared over the treees
Fm A#
The wind tossed their hair high, flashing gold on the sea.
[ Orchestration ]
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
They came to the castle and there they did faaaaall,
Fm A#
And they saw all the sadness, through the crystal wall.
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
A princess lay a-sleeping so gentle and kiiiind
Fm A#
Whilst her prince took to battle with his confused mind.
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
The clash of bright metal brought the children feeear,
Fm A#
But their cloaks of blue satin dried up all of these tears.
[ Orchestration ]
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
Thus children held hands and they spelled out their naaaame
Fm A#
All the golden children became a golden chain.
[ Orchestration ]
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
It lies on a white throne in a magic plaaace
Fm A#
With a tunic of velvet and a gown of white lace.
[ Orchestration ]
Cm Fm Cm Fm G#
My sword, it lies broken and cast in a laaake
Fm A#
In a dream I was told that my princess would wake.
