Firefly

C

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

    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

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

       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

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

       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

C

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

  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

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

    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

C

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

    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
