Mockin'bird Hill

Refrain:

        A              A7          D      Cdim  A
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a  thrill

   E7      D9       E7           A      D9  Bm7/5-   A
To wake up in the morning to the mock - in' bird's trill

        A               A7               D        Cdim  A
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee, there's peace and good will -

       E7      D9     E7      D9  A     D9   Bm7/5-  A
You're welcome as the flowers on Mock - in' - bird Hill

E7       A          A7            D        B7
When the sun in the mornin' peeps over the hill

    E7     D9   E7    Bm7/5- A   D9     A
And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill

Continues after the ad
E7       A                A7          D            B7
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill

          E7   D9       E7    Bm7/5- A            D9    A
Of those birds in the treetops on   Mock - in' - bird Hill


Repeat Refrain:

E7         A           A7       D            B7
When it's late in the evenin' I climb up the hill

       E7      D9  E7     Bm7/5-  A    D9       A
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still

E7   A          A7          D           B7
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill

        E7    D9     E7      Bm7/5- A           D9    A
Singing songs in the twilight on  Mock - in' - bird Hill

Repeat Refrain:

One verson of the lyrics which I found sometime ago
on the internet lists this as a third verse which Patti
Page *may* have included on one or more of her recordings:

E7     A             A7          D        B7
Got a three cornered plow and an acre to till

      E7       D9  E7   Bm7/5-  A      D9   A
And a mule that I bought for a ten dollar bill

E7         A           A7          D         B7
There's a tumble-down shack and a rusty old mill,

         E7      D9    E7  Bm7/5-     A            D9   A
But it's my home sweet home  up  on Mock - in' - bird Hill.
