Skylark

    Have you anything to say to me

    Won't you tell me where my love can be

    Where my heart can go a-journeying
Bm7          E7              A6
    Over the shadows and the rain
     Eaug            A6      A7
To a blossom-covered lane

And in your lonely flight
Em7            A7              Dmaj9         Bm7
   Haven't you heard the music of the night

Crazy as a loon

Oh skylark
C#m7        Dmaj7           Amaj13     Eb7
    I don't know if you can find these things
Dmaj7      E6              F#m7    Cdim
    But my heart is riding on your wings
Bm7           E7          A6
    So if you see them anywhere
          Eaug    A6
Won't you lead me there
