[Verse 1]
F Bb
I met a girl out in the hills who gave my lonely heart a thrill,
F C C7
Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring,
F Bb
And when I looked into her eyes I thought of bluish summer skies,
F C F
And when I held her hand in mine I heard the bluebirds sing.

[Chorus 1]
Bb
They sang of wondering (Wondering if you love her)
F
Will she marry (Marry if you'll ask her)
C7 F
Will her heart beat (Heart beat true for him for} then and ever-more,
Bb
And when she's lonely (Lonely is he near her}
F
When there's sadness (Sadness will you cheer her)
C F
Will they always (Always be together) Until in death they part.

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
F Bb
I courted her for months on end until she promised we would wed,
F C C7
We planned on being married in the spring,
F Bb
All through the long cold winter months it seemed like spring would never come,
F C F
And every gloomy winter's day I heard the bluebirds sing.

[Chorus 2]
Bb
They sang of waiting (Waiting for the flowers)
F
And of counting (Counting every hour)
C7 F
Till the bluebird (Bluebird chirps his welcome) Into the world once more,
Bb
And though we're waiting (Waiting for the sunshine)
F
We keep hating (Hating every storm-cloud)
C7 F
That has gathered (Gathered over the mountains) To keep us far apart.

[Verse 3]
F Bb
And when at last spring touched the earth, We were married in the village church,
F C C7
Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true,
F Bb
Tho many years have come and gone, Our love is still as true and strong,
F C F
As when I found her long ago and still the bluebird sings.

[Chorus 3]
Bb
He sang of loving (Loving every hour)
F
That I'm married (Married to my flower)
C7 F
And we're happy (Happy ever after) As since the day we met,
Bb
And though we're older (Older love is sweeter)
F
We grow fonder (Fonder of each other)
C7 F
We'll be sweethearts (Sweethearts close together) Until the end of time.
