Maple On The Hill

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
