F B C/E
To the days of Avalon Where magic rules as king
B Dm F C F
The moon beneath the castle walls As the nightingale sings...

The golden bird He gave to me What happiness he brings

Like a star on a Christmas tree As the nightingale sings
C F C F
And so we sat, hand in hand and watched the fireflies

And never spoke a single word But lived to do or die

Back to the days of Avalon Where magic ruled as king

The moon beneath the castle walls As the nightingale sings...
