[Intro]
D

[Verse]
B        F#        B            F#
When Mr. Southwind sighs in the pine
B       F#      B            F#
Old Mr. Winter, whimpers and whines
E           F#      E         F#
Down in the meadow, under the snow
E        F#        E               F#
April is teaching, green things to grow

[Verse]
B         F#       B           F#
When Mr.  Westwind hums in the glade
B        F#      B           F#
Old Mr.  Summer, nods in the shade
E           F#      E           F#
Down in the meadow, deep in the brook
E           F#              B (riff)
Catfish are waiting for the hook

[Chorus]
E                   B
Old Lady Blackbird, flirts with the scarecrow
F#7                        B (riff)
Scarecrow is waving at the moon
E                  B
Old Mr. Moon makes hearts everywhere go
C#7                               F#
Bump... bump... with the magic of June

[Verse]
B        F#        B           F#
When Mr. Eastwind, shouts over head
B            F#           B          F#
Then all the leaves, turn yellow and red
E           F#      E              F#
Down in the meadow, cornstocks are high
E            F#      F#7    E   B (riff)
Pumpkins are ripe and ready for pie

[Chorus]
E                   B
Old Lady Blackbird, flirts with the scarecrow
F#7                        B (riff)
Scarecrow is waving at the moon
E                  B
Old Mr. Moon makes hearts everywhere go
C#7                               F#
Bump... bump... with the magic of June

[Verse]
B        F#         B            F#
When Mr. Northwind, roars on the breeze
B          F#         B             F#
Old Father Christmas, trims all the trees
E           F#      E          F#
Down in the meadow, snow softly gleems
E             F#        E      F#     B
Earth goes to sleep and smiles in her dream
