Key:E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
B7 E
[Verse 1]
E A
I met a girl out in the hills who gave my lonely heart a thrill,
E B7
Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring,
E A
And when I looked into her eyes I thought of bluish summer skies,
E B E
And when I held her hand in mine I heard the bluebirds sing.
[Chorus 1]
A
They sang of wondering (Wondering if he loves her)
E
Will she marry (Marry if he'll ask her)
B7 E
Will her heart beat (Heart beat true for him for} then and ever-more,
A
And if she's lonely (Lonely is he near her}
E
When there's sadness (Sadness will he cheer her)
B7 E
Will they always (Always be together) Until in death they part.
[Interlude]
B7 E
[Verse 2]
E A
I courted her for months on end until she promised we would wed,
E B7
We planned on being married in the spring,
E A
All through the long cold winter months it seemed that spring would never come,
E B E
And every gloomy winter day I heard the bluebirds sing.
[Chorus 2]
A
They sang of waiting (Waiting for the flowers)
E
And of counting (Counting every hour)
B7 E
Till the bluebird (Bluebird chirps his welcome) Into the world once more,
A
And though we're waiting (Waiting for the sunshine)
E
We keep hating (Hating every storm-cloud)
B7 E
That has gathered (Gathered all around us) To keep us far apart.
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
E A
And when at last spring touched the earth, We were married in the village church,
E B7
Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true,
E A
Tho many years have come and gone, Our love is still as true and strong,
E B E
As when I found her long ago and still the bluebird sings.
[Chorus 3]
A
They sing of loving (Loving her forever)
E
That I'm married (Married to my flower)
B7 E
And we're happy (Happy ever after) that since the day we met
A
Though we're o-older (Older love is sweeter)
E
We grow fo-onder (Fonder of each other)
B7 E
We'll be sweethearts (Sweethearts near together) Until the end of time.
