Maple On The Hill chords by Hank Locklin

Chords with lyrics

G+G                       C majorC      G+G
Here upon the quiet country village stood the maple on the hill

          A7A7     D7D7
There I sat with my Geneva long ago

G+G                       C majorC        G+G
When the stars were shining brightly we could hear the whippoorwill

           D7D7      G+G
As we sat beneath the maple on the hill


                      C majorC         G+G
We would sing love songs together when the birds had gone to rest

             A7A7      D7D7
And we'd listened to the murmur of the leaves

G+G                       C majorC      G+G
Then you'd throw your arms around me lay your head upon my chest

           D7D7      G+G
As we sat beneath the maple on the hill

                     C majorC        G+G
Now we're getting old and feeble and our hair is turning gray

           A7A7       D7D7
We no longer hear the rippling of the leaves

G+G                  C majorC        G+G
Still I always love you darling as I did those starry nights

            D7D7      G+G
When we sat beneath the maple on the hill


                    C majorC       G+G
Don't forget me little darling as they lay me down to rest

             A7A7        D7D7
Will you keep this final promise that you gave

G+G                     C majorC      G+G
While you linger there in silence thinking only of the past

              D7D7      G+G
May your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave
