I [E]met a girl out in the hills who [A]gave my lonely heart a thrill
Her [E]beauty seemed just like a breath of [B]spring
And [E]when I looked into her eyes I [A]thought of blue mid summer skies
And [E]when I held her hand in mine I [B]heard the Bluebirds [E]sing.
They sang of [A]wondering (wondering if you love her) Will she [E]marry (marry if you ask her)
Will her [B]heart beat (heart beat for him or for) [E]them and ever more
And when she's [A]lonely (lonely is he near her) When there's [E]sadness (sadness will he cheer her)
Will they [B]always (always be together) until in death they [E]part.
I [E]courted her for months on end un[A]til she promised we would be wed
We [E]planned on being married in the[B] spring
All [E]through the long cold winter months it [A]seemed that spring would never come
And [E]every gloomy winter's day I [B]heard the Bluebirds [E]sing.
They sang of [A]waiting (waiting for the flowers) And of [E]counting (counting every hour)
Till the [B]Bluebird (Bluebird brings his welcome) [E]Into the world once more.
And though we're [A]waiting (waiting for the sunshine) We keep [E]hating (hating every storm cloud)
That has [B]gathered (gathered on the mountain) to keep us far a[E]part.
And [E]when at last spring touched the earth we were [A]married in the village church
Our [E]wedding seemed just like a dream come [B]true
So [E]many years have come and gone our [A]love is still as true and strong
As [E]when I found her long ago and [B]still the Bluebirds [E]sing.
They sang of [A]loving (loving every hour) That I'm [E]married (married to my flower)
We'll be [B]happy (happy ever after) As [E]since the day we met.
And though we're [A]older (older love is sweeter) We grow [E]fonder (fonder of each other)
We'll be [B]sweethearts (sweethearts close together) Until the end of [E]time...
