Gillian Welch - Acony Bell

      
 
 *Note: I only had the patience to tab out the intro riff, you will have to figure out
 between-verse interludes on your own, unless I come back and get them later!

 Verse 1 chords:
             D                       
 The fairest bloom the mountain knows
                          D7  
 Is not an iris or a wild rose
                 G                     D 
 But the little flower of which I'll tell
                A         D   
 Known as the brave acony bell
 
 Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
 Just a simple flower so small and plain
 With a pearly hue and a little known name
 But the yellow birds sing when they see it bloom
 For they know that spring is coming soon
 
 Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
 Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills
 Where the snows lie deep on the windy hills
 And it tells the world "Why should I wait
 This ice and snow is gonna melt away."
 
 Outro verse:
             G                       D   
 And so I'll sing that yellow bird's song
 A D (play intro riff)
 For the troubled times will soon be gone
