Maple On The Hill

A           D   A           E   A


[Verse 1]
       A                           
Near a quiet country village stood 
  D            A
a maple on the hill
        A                       
There I sat with my Jeannette of 
       E
long ago
         A                         
When the stars were shining 
           D              
brightly we could hear the 
  A
whippoorwill
      A               E            
As we sat beneath the maple on the 
A
hill


[Verse 2]
         A                       
We would sing love songs together 
          D                 A
when the birds had gone to rest
         A                         
And we'd listen to the murmur of 
  E
the rill
         A                         
Then you throw your arms around me 
          D            A
laid your head upon my chest

      A               E            
As we sat beneath the maple on the 
A
hill


[Verse 3]
          A                        
Now we're getting old and feeble 
      D               A
and our hair is turning grey
      A                            
We no longer hear the ripple of the
 E
 rill
        A                          
Still I always love you darling as 
  D                A
I did those starry nights
        A               E         
When we sat beneath the maple on 
   A
the hill


[Verse 4]
         A                       
Don't forget me little darling as 
      D              A
they lay me down to rest
         A                      
Will you keep this final promise 
          E
that you gave
          A                      
While you linger there in silence 
          D             A
thinking on and of the past
         A                  E     
May your teardrops kiss the 
        A
flowers on my grave

A           D   A           E   A


[Verse 5]
       A                         
I will soon be with the angels on 
      D                   A
that bright and peaceful shore
     A                             
Even now I hear them coming o’er 
  E
the hill
        A                          
So, goodbye my little darlin’ it is
 D              A
 time for us to part
       A                 E        
I must leave you and the maple on 
    A
the hill
