[Verse]
 
            G
The fairest bloom the mountain knows
          G
Is not an iris or a wild rose
               C                    G
But the little flower of which I'll tell
             D           G     D G
Known as the brave acony bell
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
              G
Just a simple flower so small and plain
              G
With a pearly hue and a little known name
                     C                     G
But the yellow birds sing when they see it bloom
                   D                G
For they know that spring is coming soon

[Verse 3]
 
                  G
Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills
                    G
Where the snow lies deep on the windy hills
                 C                   G
And it tells the world "why should I wait
             D                   G
This ice and snow is gonna melt away
            C                       G
And so I'll sing that yellow bird's song
                 D                  G
For the troubled times will soon be gone
