Maple On The Hill Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Near a quiet country village
grew a [F]maple on [C]the hill
Where I sat with my Geneva [G]long ago
[C]As the stars were shining brightly
we could [F]hear the whippoorwill
[C]As we sat beneath the [G]maple on the hill
[C]We would sing love songs together
while the [F]birds had gone to [C]rest
We would listen to the
murmur [G]o 'er the reel
[C]Will you love me little darlin'
as you [F]did those starry nights
[C]As we sat beneath the [G]maple on the
[C]hill.[D][G][D][A][D]
[G][D][A][D]
Don't forget me, little darlin',
when they [G]lay me down to [D]die
Just one little wish, darlin', that [A]I pray
[D]As you lingered there in sadness,
thinking, [G]darlin' of the pas[D]t
Let your teardrops kiss the
[A]flowers on my [D]grave
[E]I will soon be with the angels
on that [A]bright and peaceful [E]show
Even now I hear them coming for the [B]real
[E]So goodbye my little darling,
it is [A]time for us to part
[E]I must leave you and t[B]he maple on the h[E]ill you
