King David by Judy Collins
King David
Capo:2nd fret
[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
Am
King David was a sorrowful man
Dm Am
No cause for his sorrow had he
Dm F
And he called for the music of a hundred harps
Dm Am Dm Am Dm
To ease his melancholy
[Verse 2]
Am
They played till they all fell silent
Dm Am
Played and play sweet did they
Dm F
But the sorrow that haunted the heart of King David
Dm Am Dm Am Dm
They could not charm away
[Verse 3]
Am
He rose and in his garden
Dm Am
Walked by the moon alone
Dm F
A nightingale hidden in a cypress tree
Dm Am Dm Am Dm
Jargoned on and on
[Verse 4]
Am
King David lifted his sad eyes
Dm Am
Into the dark-boughed tree
Dm F
"Tell me, thou little bird that singest
Dm Am Dm Am Dm
Who taught my grief to thee?"
[Verse 5]
Am
But the bird in no-wise heeded
Dm Am
And the king in the cool of the moon
Dm F
Hearkened to the nightingale's sorrowfulness
Dm Am Dm Am Dm
Till all his own was gone
