[Verse 1]
   D                               G
I met a girl out in the hills who gave my lonely heart a thrill,
      D                                    A
Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring,
     D                              G
And when I looked into her eyes I thought of bluish summer skies,
     D                               A                  D
And when I held her hand in mine I heard the bluebirds sing.

[Chorus 1]
               G                                              D
They sang of wondering, Wondering if you love her, Will she marry, Marry if you'll ask her,
          A                                        D
Will her heart beat, Heart beat true for him for, Then and ever-more,
                 G                                           D
And when she's lonely, Lonely is to know her, When there's sadness, Sadness will en-tear her,
            A                                              D
Will they always, Always be together, Until in death they part.

[Verse 2]
    D                              G
I courted her for months on end until she promised we would wed,
     D                                A
We planned on being married in the spring,
       D                                     G
All through the long cold winter months it seemed that spring would never come,
     D                          A                   D
And every gloomy winter day I heard the bluebirds sing.

[Chorus 2]
               G                                        D
They sang of waiting, Waiting for the flowers, And of counting, Counting every hour,
           A                                         D
Till the bluebirds, Bluebirds chirps it's welcome, Into the world once more,
                   G                                                  D
And though we're waiting, Waiting for the sunshine, We keep hating, Hating every storm-cloud,
           A                                                     D
That has gathered, Gathered over the mountains, To keep us far apart.

[Verse 3]
     D                                                 G
And when at least spring touched the earth, We were married in the village church,
      D                                     A
Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true,
    D                                  G
So many years have come and gone, Our love is still as true and strong,
    D                              A                   D
As when I found her long ago and still the bluebirds sing.

[Chorus 3]
               G                                    D
They sing of loving, Loving every hour, That I'm married  Married to my flower,
                    A                  D
We'll be happy, Happy ever after, As since the day we met,
                   G                                         D
And though we're older, Our older love is sweeter, We grow fonder, Fonder of each other,
            A                                                       D
We'll be sweethearts, Sweethearts close together, Until the end of time.
