1. There once was a King, who called for the Spring,  
            Am               D          Em
    for his world was still covered in snow. 
                                             G
    But the Spring had not been, for he was wicked and mean,
            Am             D             B7
    in his winter-fields nothing would grow.
                   C                     G
    And when a traveller called seeking help at the court,
           C         G           B7        Em                   Am
    only food and a bed for the night, he ordered his slave to turn her away,
         Em           D          Em - A -C - D - Em        A - C - D - Em
    the girl with April in her    e    y     e     s,     e    y   e   s.
    Em   D   C             Em
    Oh, oh, on and on she goes,
                 G                   D                  C
    through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow.
    Em  D    C             Em              G                  D            C - Em
    Ai, ai, on and on she rides, someone help the girl with April in her eyes.
        Em                                 G
2. She walked through the night till she came to the light, 
          Am           D           Em
    of a humble man's home in the woods. 
                                   G
    He brought her inside, by the firelight she died,
            Am          D          B7
    and he buried her gently and good.
            C                           G
    Oh the morning was bright, all the world was snow-white,
                 C            G              B7
    but when he came to the place where she lay.
         Em                    Am
    His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave,
            Em        D            Em - A - C - D - Em       A - C - D - Em
    of the girl with April in her   e    y     e     s,    e    y    e   s.
    Em   D   C                 Em
    Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes,
                 G                   D                  C
    through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow.
     Em   D   C             Em            G                   D            C
    Ai, ai, on and on she flies, she is gone, the girl with April in her eyes,
    Em - A - C - D -     Em     A - C - D - Em
    e     y     e     s,     e    y    e   s.
