[Intro 1]

[Verse 1]
When the [Em]snow peels thaw and the streambeds crawl to the [D]waterfall and
the [Em]river I'll turn my face to the bright green space of the [D]mother and my [Em]di ver
No [D]man has made a ring of [G]jade
like [D]green corn in the husk
[Em]No man c[D]ould own a turqu[G]oise
stone as [D]deep blue as the [Em]dusk
So come away from your workin' day
and [D]laugh and let your [Em]head go
Bring along an old -time song for [D]dancin'
in the [Em]meadow[G][Em][D][Em]
[D][Em]
Leave your bedside for a moonlight ride
where the [D]midnight air is [Em]warmer
We'll sink with the quail and the cottontail,
this [D]tale escapes the [Em]farmer.
[D]Deep plump thicket in the [G]bramble bush
where the [D]quiet creatures hide
[Em]Are part[D] of me a mystery
[G]which [D]I accept with p[Em]ride.
If I must stay it'll lay all day like a
[D]marcher in the [Em]hedgerow
When the hunter's gone it's all night long for
[D]dancing in the [Em]meadow![G][D][G][D]
[Em][D][Em]
[D]
[Em]When the summer's over and come
October
And [D]the evening air is [Em]crisper
In the mist and smoke by the twisted oak
I [D]listen to the branches whis[Em]per
Barn [D]dancers reel, the [G]furrowed field
Must [D]yield and quickly turn
[Em]Harp[D] is gone, the whod[G]ell song
is [D]one we now must [Em]learn
Who, who, who are you?
[D]If it's you who [Em]said so
Who could it be?
It's only me,
I'm [D]dancing in the [Em]meadow[D][Em][D]
[Em]When the seasons pass and the hourglass
has [D]all too quickly shattered
[Em]You'll lay me low beneath the
snow and [D]wonder if I [Em]mattered
Late [D]in the night,
your hair gone white will surely stand on [Em]end
You'll [D]hear me sing my banjo,
ring the voice of your old [Em]friend
If you get brave,
run to my grave and [D]holler,
Are you [Em]dead?
No, no tooth don't can cover my bones
I'm [D]dancing in the [Em]meadow![G][D][G][D]

Thank for watching.
