GHere upon the quiet country village stood the Cmaple on the Ghill
There I sat with my A7Geneva long D7ago
GWhen the stars were shining brightly we could Chear the whippoorGwill
As we sat beneath the D7maple on the Ghill
We would sing love songs together when the Cbirds had gone to Grest
And we'd listened to the A7murmur of the D7leaves
GThen you'd throw your arms around me lay your Chead upon my Gchest
As we sat beneath the D7maple on the Ghill
Now we're getting old and feeble and our Chair is turning Ggray
We no longer hear the A7rippling of the D7leaves
GStill I always love you darling as I Cdid those starry Gnights
When we sat beneath the D7maple on the Ghill
Don't forget me little darling as they Clay me down to Grest
Will you keep this final A7promise that you D7gave
GWhile you linger there in silence thinking Conly of the Gpast
May your teardrops kiss the D7flowers on my Ggrave

G C G

Here upon the quiet country village stood the maple on the hill

A7 D7

There I sat with my Geneva long ago

G C G

When the stars were shining brightly we could hear the whippoorwill

D7 G

As we sat beneath the maple on the hill

C G

We would sing love songs together when the birds had gone to rest

A7 D7

And we'd listened to the murmur of the leaves

G C G

Then you'd throw your arms around me lay your head upon my chest

D7 G

As we sat beneath the maple on the hill

C G

Now we're getting old and feeble and our hair is turning gray

A7 D7

We no longer hear the rippling of the leaves

G C G

Still I always love you darling as I did those starry nights

D7 G

When we sat beneath the maple on the hill

C G

Don't forget me little darling as they lay me down to rest

A7 D7

Will you keep this final promise that you gave

G C G

While you linger there in silence thinking only of the past

D7 G

May your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave
