[Verse 1]
[D]Here
upon the quiet country village stood [A]the [Bm]maple [G]on the hil[D]l
There I sat with my Jeannie of long [A]ago
[D]When the stars were shining brightly
we could [Bm]hear [G]the whippoorwil[D]l
As we sat beneath the maple [A]on the [D]hill
We would sing love songs together [A]when
the [Bm]bird[G]s had go[Bm]ne to re[D]st
And we'd listened to the murmur
[A]of the [F#m]leaves
[D]Then you throwed your arms around me
laid your [Bm]head [G]upon [D]my [A]chest[D]
As we sat beneath [A]the maple on the [D]hill[A][D][Bm]
[A][D][F#m][A][E][D][Bm][G][Bm][D]
[A][D]
[ piano ]
Now we're getting old and feeble
[Bm]and our [G]hair is turning gre[D]y
We no longer hear the
[A]rippling of [D]the leaves
Still I always love you darling as
I [Bm]did [G]those stary [D]nights
When we sat beneath
[A]the maple on the [D]hill
Don't forget me little darling as
[Bm]they lay [G]me down [D]to rest
Will you keep this [A]final
promise that you gave
[D]While you linger there in silence think
[A]ing [Bm]only[G] of th[Bm]e pa[G]s t[D]
[A]May[D] your teardrops kiss the fl[A]owers on my grave[D]
[Bm][A][D][A][D]
[Bm][D][A][D][A][D][A][D][A][Bm][G][Bm][D]
Even now i hear the angels
coming o'er the [A]hill
[D]So goodbye my little darling,
yes [Bm]the time [G]has come to [D]part
I must leave you and the [A]maple on the [D]hill
