Verse 1:
 E                A
I met a girl out in the hills that gave my lonely heart a thrill,
  E                  B
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 asks her)
     B7                    E
Will her heart beat (Heart beat true for him for} then and ever-more,
        A
And when 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.


Verse 2:
 E                A
I courted her for months on end until she promised we would wed,
  E                B
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's 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 over the mountains) To keep us far apart.

Verse 3:
  E                   A
And when at last spring touched the earth, We were married in the church,
  E                   B
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
He sang of loving (Loving every hour)
     E
That I'm married (Married to my flower)
     B7             E
And we're happy (Happy ever after) As since the day we met,
         A
And though we're older (Older love is sweeter)
    E
We grow fonder (Fonder of each other)
     B7                            E
We'll be sweethearts (Sweethearts close together) Until the end of time.
