Maple On The Hill

G                                 
Here upon the quiet country 
            C            G
village stood the maple on the hill

                    A7          D7
There I sat with my Geneva long ago

G                                 
When the stars were shining 
            C             
brightly we could hear the 
   G
whippoorwill

                      D7           
As we sat beneath the maple on the 
G
hill


We would sing love songs together 
         C                 G
when the birds had gone to rest

                         A7        
And we'd listened to the murmur of 
    D7
the leaves

G                                 
Then you'd throw your arms around 
            C            G
me lay your head upon my chest

                      D7           
As we sat beneath the maple on the 
G
hill


Now we're getting old and feeble and
     C               G
 our hair is turning gray

                      A7         
We no longer hear the rippling of 
     D7
the leaves

G                                 
Still I always love you darling as
   C                G
 I did those starry nights

                        D7         
When we sat beneath the maple on 
  G
the hill


Don't forget me little darling as 
     C              G
they lay me down to rest

                         A7     
Will you keep this final promise 
          D7
that you gave

G                                 
While you linger there in silence 
         C           G
thinking only of the past

                            D7     
May your teardrops kiss the flowers
       G
 on my grave
