Maple On The Hill

Key: G

Introduction:

             G                                                                                                                      C                              G  
Here upon the quiet country village stood the maple on the hill
                                                     A7                         D7  
There I sat with my Geneva long ago
G                                                                                                                      C                                         G  
When the stars were shining brightly we could hear the whippoorwill
                                                          D7                            G  
As we sat beneath the maple on the hill
                                                                                                                  C                                            G  
We would sing love songs together when the birds had gone to rest
                                                                  A7                              D7  
And we'd listened to the murmur of the leaves
G                                                                                                                      C                              G  
Then you'd throw your arms around me lay your head upon my chest
                                                          D7                            G  
As we sat beneath the maple on the hill
                                                                                                             C                                      G  
Now we're getting old and feeble and our hair is turning gray
                                                          A7                                    D7  
We no longer hear the rippling of the leaves
G                                                                                              C                                         G  
Still I always love you darling as I did those starry nights
                                                                D7                            G  
When we sat beneath the maple on the hill
                                                                                                        C                                    G  
Don't forget me little darling as they lay me down to rest
                                                                  A7                                      D7  
Will you keep this final promise that you gave
G                                                                                                              C                            G  
While you linger there in silence thinking only of the past
                                                                          D7                              G  
May your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave
