[E] [A]
[E] [B]
[E] I met a girl back in the [A] hills who gave my lonely heart a [E] thrill
Her beauty seemed just like a [B] breath of spring
[E] And when I looked into her [A] eyes I thought of blue summer [E] skies
And when I held her hand in [B] mine I heard the [E] bluebird sing
He [A] sang of wondering, wondering if she'll love her
[E] Will she marry, will she marry if she'll ask
[B] Will their hearts be, hearts be close together
[E] For now and evermore
[A] And when she's lonely, lonely is she near [E] her
When there's sadness, sadness will lead to her
[B] Will they always, always be together
Until [E] the end of time
I courted [C#m] her for months [A] on end until she promised me
Would [E] which she said that we'd be married [B] in the spring
[E] All through the long cold winter months [A] I thought the spring would never [E] come
And every gloomy winter [B] day I heard [E] the bluebird sing
He [A] sang of waiting, waiting for the [E] flowers
And of counting, counting every hour
[B] Till the bluebird, bluebird baby [E] springtime
Can you do the will [G#] once more [A] and while we're waiting
Waiting for the [E] sunshine, keep hating
Hating every storm [B] that has gathered
Head over the mountains to keep us [E] far apart
[A]
[E] [B]
[E] [A]
[E] [B] [E]
And when the last spring touched the [A] earth we were married
In the village [E] church our wedding seemed just like a dream [B] come true
[E] Though many years have come and [A] gone our love is still as true and [E] strong
When I found her long [B] ago and heard the [E] bluebird sing
[A] I sang of loving, loving every hour [E] that we're married
Married to each other, [B] we'll be happy, happy ever after
[E] As since the day we met and [A] though we're older
Our love is sweeter, [E] we grow fonder, fonder of each other
[B] We'll be sweetheart, happy as the bluebirds until the [E] end of time
