[G] When _ _ _ the sun in the morning [C] peeps over the hill

Of [D] the birds in the treetops [G]
on Mawton Bird Hill
Tra-la-la, dee-dee-dee-dee, [C] it gives me [G] a thrill
To [D] wake up in the [G] morning to the Mawton Birds' Trill
Tra-la-la, dee-dee-dee-dee, [C]
there's peace and [G] goodwill
[D] You're welcome as the flowers [G] on Mawton Bird Hill
