Owl City - The Meadow Lark: chords

 D#            G#     D#
Upon a winding forest road
  D#            G#       A#
I met a soldier far from home
  Cm            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
   Cm                 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
     Cm              G#     D#
And troubled not by war or peace
     A#            G#  D#
She sang for us a melody

Chorus:
      G#    D#        Cm    A#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
        G#      Cm      A#
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
      G#    D#        Cm    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

   F               A#    F
I did not move or look away
 F                A#        C
Lest my life, my foe would take
    Dm            A#      F
Yet in his eyes, I saw his fright
       A#           C        F
Just a boy like me afraid to die
     F               A#     F
The meadowlark sang on and on
      F                A#         C
Then more arrived and joined the song
    Dm          A#    F
And as I held my rival stare
   A#                 C          F
A tremendous Chorus filled the air
     F               A#       F
Then in my heart, as clear as day
   F              A#      C
I heard a gentle whisper say
   Dm           A#    F
My son, if my disciple be
      A#                  C  F
Show grace and love your enemy

Chorus:
      A#    F         Dm   C
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
        A#      Dm     C
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
      A#    F         Dm   C
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
        A#                      C       D#  C
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

       G                 C     G
With swell of birds sung all around
 G           C     D
Lowered I my rifle down
    Em              C      G
And as my foe took aim at me
    C                  D     D#   F
I showed him yield on bended knee
    G                  C          G
He faltered then and shook with fear
      G               C       D
And from his eye, he wiped a tear
     Em             C        G
His gaze was as a brothers bond
      C                  D      G
And then, he turned and he was gone

Chorus:
      C     G        Em   D
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
        C       Em     D
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
      C     G        Em   D
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
        C                       D      Em
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
        C                       D      G
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

   G                 C        G
If I should live to see more days
    G               C        D
I pray the Lord to guide my ways
     Em               C  G
With grace to love my enemy
      C                D        G
For grace, my Savior showed to me
     Em                C  G
With grace to love my enemy
      C                D        C
For grace, my Savior showed to me
