SONG NAME - Band Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: ramble-on
E-mail: IM my account
Standard tuning; Capo at 5th fret.
Some notes:
This is how I play this song, and it is an attempt to unify the multiple guitar parts
into a single part that is
playable while singing, while still having a bass and melody. I didn't tab out the
second solo, my brain has
grown weary of this song, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. The song is
largely a repeating
progression of chord arpeggios, so I started with just the chords and lyrics. I
recommend just learning to
strum the chords with the lyrics first. Once you have the pattern memorized, the picking
will come much easier.
Please note that the chord names I use are the ACTUAL CHORD NAMES, refer to the chord
chart if this confuses
you. If you find it simpler to use the "fake" chord names relative to your finger
position in open position the
pattern is this: D D D A G D A D. Have Fun!

Full Lyrics and Chords (Capo V):
G G
The fairest bloom the mountain knows
G D
Is not an iris or a wild rose
C G
But the little flower of which I'll tell
D G
Known as the brave acony bell
G G
Just a simple flower so small and plain
G D
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
G G
Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills
G D
Where the snow lie 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
