Chords with lyrics

Chorus 1:
A augmentedA            D MajorD    E MajorE
I like to rise when the sun she rises,
A augmentedA      D MajorD E MajorE
early in the morning
  A augmentedA          D MajorD      E MajorE
And I like to hear them small birds singing,
A augmentedA         D MajorD E MajorE
Merrily upon their laylums
  A augmentedA            D MajorD    E MajorE
And hurrah for the life of a country boy,
    A augmentedA       E MajorE     A augmentedA
And to ramble in the new mowed hay.

Verse 1:
A augmentedA            D MajorD    E MajorE
In spring we sow at the harvest mow
  A augmentedA            D MajorD     E MajorE
And that is how the seasons round they go
   A augmentedA       D MajorD    E MajorE
but of all the times choose I may
    A augmentedA          E MajorE     A augmentedA
I'd be rambling through the new mowed hay.

Chorus 2:
  A augmentedA            D MajorD    E MajorE
For I like to rise when the sun she rises,
A augmentedA      D MajorD E MajorE
early in the morning
  A augmentedA          D MajorD      E MajorE
And I like to hear them small birds singing,
A augmentedA         D MajorD E MajorE
Merrily upon their laylums
  A augmentedA            D MajorD    E MajorE
And hurrah for the life of a country boy,
    A augmentedA       E MajorE     A augmentedA
And to ramble in the new mowed hay.

Verse 2:
  A augmentedA        D MajorD   E MajorE
In winter when the sky's gray
A augmentedA           D MajorD   E MajorE
we hedge and ditch our times away,
    A augmentedA        D MajorD     E MajorE
but in summer when the sun shines gay,
    A augmentedA          E MajorE     A augmentedA
We'd go ramblin' through the new mowed hay.

Chorus 3:
  A augmentedA            D MajorD    E MajorE
For I like to rise when the sun she rises,
A augmentedA      D MajorD E MajorE
early in the morning
  A augmentedA          D MajorD      E MajorE
And I like to hear them small birds singing,
A augmentedA         D MajorD E MajorE
Merrily upon their laylums
  A augmentedA            D MajorD    E MajorE
And hurrah for the life of a country boy,
    A augmentedA       E MajorE     A augmentedA
