Introduction:
G Gº A7 Am7 D7 G D
As the blackbird in the spring, 'neath the willow tree
G Gº A7 Am7 D7 G
Sat and piped, I heard him sing, sing of Aura Lee
Refrain
G G/F# B7 C C/B Am7 Am7/G B7
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid with golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee, and swallows in the air
G Gº A7 Am7 D7 G D
On her cheek the rose was born, 'twas music when she spoke
G Gº A7 Am7 D7 G
In her eyes the light of morn with glorious splendor broke
G G/F# B7 C C/B Am7 Am7/G B7
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid with golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee, and swallows in the air

Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid with golden hair

Take my heart and take my ring, I give by all to thee

Take me for eternity, Dearest Aura Lee

Aura Lee, the birds may flee the willow's golden hair
G Gº A7 Am7 D7 G
Then the wintry winds may be blowing ev'rywhere

Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid with golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee, and swallows in the air

Yet if they blue eyes I see, gloom will soon depart

For to me, sweet Aura Lee, is sunshine to the heart
