Intro: A C# H A H A

H
Green finch and linnet bird,
E
Nightingale, blackbird,
H                 A
How is it you sing?
G#m
How can you jubilate,
A#
Sitting in cages,
D#m              A#
Never taking wing?
D#m
Outside the sky waits,
D
Beckoning, beckoning,
D#m              D#m - C# - C
Just beyond the bars.
H
How can you remain,
E
Staring at the rain,
G#m          A
Maddened by the stars?
H                A
How is it you sing
E
Anything? How is it you sing?
H
Green finch and linnet bird,
E
Nightingale, blackbird,
H                A
How is it you sing?
G#m
Whence comes this melody 
A#
constantly flowing?
D#m              A#
Is it rejoicing or merely halloing?
D#m
Are you discussing or fussing
D
Or simply dreaming?
D#m            D#m - C# - C
Are you crowing?
H
Are you screaming?
E
Ringdove and robinet,
G#m          A
Is it for wages,
H                A
Singing to be sold?
E
Have you decided it's
H
Safer in cages,
E
Singing when you're told?

(АNTHONY enters. Instantly he sees her 
and stands transfixed by her beauty)

H
My cage has many rooms,
E
Damask and dark.
H                 A
Nothing there sings,
G#m
Not even my lark.
G#m
Larks never will, you know,
A#
When they're captive.
D#m              A#
Teach me to be more adaptive.
D#m
Green finch and linnet bird,
D
Nightingale, blackbird,
D#m              D#m - C# - C
Teach me how to sing.
H
If I cannot fly,
E
Let me sing.

(She gazes into the middle distance disconsolately)

АNTHONY (Gazing at her, sings softly):
G#m          A
I have sailed the world,
H                A
Beheld its wonders,
E
From the pearls of Spain
H
To the rubies of Tibet,
E
But not even in London
H                A
Have I seen such а wonder...
(Breathlessly)
G#m
Lady look at me look at me miss oh
A#
Look at me please oh
D#m              A#
Favor me favor me with your glance.
D#m              
Ah, miss, what do you what do you see off
D
There in those trees oh
D#m              D#m - C# - C
Won't you give won't you give me а chance?
H
Who would sail to Spain
E
For all its wonders,
G#m          A
When in Kearney's Lane
H                A
Lies the greatest wonder yet?
E
Ah, miss, look at you look at you pale and
H
Ivory-skinned oh
E
Look at you looking so sad so queer.
H                A
Promise not to retreat to the darkness
G#m
Back of your window not till you 
A#
not till you look down here. Look at
