[Verse 1]
[C]Whe[F]n t[C]he [F]sum[C]mer
day's [F]over,
and its [C]busy cares have flown,
[G]I s[C]it beneath the s[F]tarl[C]ight,
[F]with a [C]weary heart [G]alone.[C]
Then [G]arises, a [C]vision,
[Dm]sparkling bright in nature's [G]glee,
My [C]own dear Ellen [F]Wadden,
with its [C]green hills by [G]the [C]sea.[F][C][F]
[C]Then I hear the wavelets mum[F]ble
As they [C]kiss the fiery shore,
[G]Then be [C]neath the emerald wat[F]ers
Sings the [C]mermaid as [G]a f[C]jord,
And the [G]fair isle shines with [C]beauty
[Dm]As in youth it dawned on[G] me.
My [C]own dear Ellen [F]ran in,
With its [C]green hills [G]by the [C]sea.[F][C][F][C]
[G]Then [C]memories, and tender,
[F]Come like mus[C]ic's ple[F]nty flo[Dm]w[C]
[G]Of the hea[C]rts, dear Ellen Bannon,
[F]That lov[C]ed me lon[G]g ago.
[C]And I g[G]ive with tears and[C] blessings
[Dm]My fondest t[G]houghts to thee,
My [C]own dear Ellen [F]Madden,
With its [C]green [G]hills by the [C]sea.
