Capo 2        I heard The Bluebirds Sing           The Browns
[Intro]
G   A   D   D
[Verse 1]
I mDet a girl out in the hills who gGave my lonely heart a thrill,
Her beDauty seemed just like a breath of sprAing,
And wDhen I looked into her eyes I thGought of bluish summer skies,
And wDhen I held her hand in mine I heAard the bluebirds sDing.
[Chorus 1]
They sang of woGndering, Wondering if you love her, Will she maDrry, Marry if you'll ask her,
Will her hAeart beat, Heart beat true for him for, TDhen and ever-more,
And when she's loGnely, Lonely is to near her, When there's saDdness, Sadness will he cheer her,
Will they alAways, Always be together, Until in death they pDart.
[Verse 2]
I coDurted her for months on end untGil she promised we would wed,
We plDanned on being married in the sprAing,
All thrDough the long cold winter months it seGemed that spring would never come,
And eDvery gloomy winter day I heAard the bluebirds siDng.
[Chorus 2]
They sang of waGiting, Waiting for the flowers, And of coDunting, Counting every hour,
Till the blAuebirds, Bluebirds chirps it's welcome, InDto the world once more,
And though we're waGiting, Waiting for the sunshine, We keep haDting, Hating every storm-cloud,
That has gaAthered, Gathered over the mountains, To keep us far apDart.
[Interlude]
G  A  D Dsus2 A        D        G        D        A        D
[Verse 3]
And wDhen at least spring touched the earth, We were marGried in the village church,
Our weDdding seemed just like a dream come trAue,
So mDany years have come and gone, Our lGove is still as true and strong,
As wDhen I found her long ago and stAill the bluebirds siDng.
[Chorus 3]
They sing of loGving, Loving every hour, That I'm marDried  Married to my flower,
We'll be happy, HappAy ever after, As siDnce the day we met,
And though we're olGder, Our older love is sweeter, We grow foDnder, Fonder of each other,
We'll be sweAethearts, Sweethearts close together, Until the end of tDime.
