Skylark,            have you anything to say to me 
          Cm7              Bm7     Bm5-/7    E7 
Won't you tell me where my love can be 
          E4/7           E7         A   F#m7 
Is there a meadow in the mist 
        D       Cdim           E7                  
Where someone's waiting to be kissed 
E4/7     A6     Bm7  C#m7         D              A7M         Bm7  C#m7 
Oh,   skylark,         have you seen a valley green with spring 
         Cm7              Bm7   Bm5-/7  E7 
Where my heart can go a-journeying 
        E4/7           E7          A     F#m7 
Over the shadows and the rain  
     Fdim     E7      A              
To a blossom-covered lane 

Bridge 

Em7 A7        D7M   Cdim Em7 
And in your lonely flight 
            A7              D7M     Bm7     C#m5-/7            
Haven't you heard the music in the night 
         F#m5-/7           
Wonderful music  
Bm          Bm7             Em7   Gdim   D7M 
faint as a will o'the wisp, crazy  as a loon 
G         D         A Ab  A7   D     E7  
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon.  Oh 
   A6     Bm7  C#m7          D                A7M       Bm7     C#m7        
Skylark,             I don't know if you can find these things 
       Cm7             Bm7     Bm5-/7   E7  
But my heart is riding on your wings 
         Bm5-/7       E7   A    F#m 
So if you see them anywhere 
         Bm5-/7   E7    F#m  Cdim Bm5-/7 E7 A7M/9 
Won't you lead  me   there
