This beautiful song was written by Wally Page
[Verse 1]
GThis is the day the cuckoo likes, and so do CI
GThe hills fall down in different shapes, and the swallows fCly
to a hiGdden beach where boats dont go
Where, wCild abandonment fills my sole
And, I hDear the squealing, as the seagulls way off home they goC  
And so do GI, SCo do GI
[Verse 2]
GThis is the day the fisherman likes, and so do CI
when the rGain puts a shine on the chestnut spikes, and Curlews cCry,
the NightGingale sings her best,
we'll drCink a pint in Hamilton's Rest
The gDirl I love  wore a muslin dress
the fisChermen dream of the sun in the west
And So Do GI,  CSo Do GI
[Chorus]
DNow AmI cGan sDee
Since the girl thaCt-I lDove deAmarly,
has cDast her loving spell, on Gme.
I'll croCss the SeDven OcGeans
Cforever mDore I'll waGnder
'Til sDhe has cast her loving spell on Gme
GThis is the day the cuckoo likes, and so do CI
And tGhis is the day the fisherman likes, and so do CI
GThis is the day the cuckoo likes, and so do CI
And so do GIC  G

[Verse 1]

G C

This is the day the cuckoo likes, and so do I

G C

The hills fall down in different shapes, and the swallows fly

to a hidden beach where boats dont go

Where, wild abandonment fills my sole

D C

And, I hear the squealing, as the seagulls way off home they go

G C G

And so do I, So do I

[Verse 2]

G C

This is the day the fisherman likes, and so do I

G C

when the rain puts a shine on the chestnut spikes, and Curlews cry,

the Nightingale sings her best,

we'll drink a pint in Hamilton's Rest

The girl I love wore a muslin dress

the fishermen dream of the sun in the west

G C G

And So Do I, So Do I

[Chorus]

D Am G D

Now I can see

C D Am

Since the girl that-I love dearly,

D G

has cast her loving spell, on me.

C D G

I'll cross the Seven Oceans

C D G

forever more I'll wander

D G

'Til she has cast her loving spell on me

G C

This is the day the cuckoo likes, and so do I

G C

And this is the day the fisherman likes, and so do I

G C

This is the day the cuckoo likes, and so do I

G C G

And so do I
