[Verse]
G Gmaj7 Em7
Here's a hymn to welcome in the day
G Gmaj7 Em7
Heralding the summer's early sway
C Cmaj7
And all the bulbs all coming in
Am7 Cmaj7
to begin
C Cmaj7 Am7
Thrushes bleating battle with the wrens
D
Disrupts my reverie again
G Gmaj7 Em7
Pegging clothing on the line
G Gmaj7 Em7
Training jasmine how to vine
C Cmaj7
Up the arbor to your door
Am7 Cmaj7
And more
C Cmaj7 Am7
You're standing on the landing with the war
D
You shouldered all the night before
[Chorus]
C D
And once upon it, the yellow bonnets
G C Cmaj7
Garland all the lawn
Am7 D
And you were waking, day was breaking
G C Cmaj7
A panoply of song
Am7 D G
And summer comes to Springville Hill
[Interlude]
G
[Verse]
G Gmaj7 Em7
A barony of ivy in the trees
G Gmaj7 Em7
Expanding out its empire by degrees
C Cmaj7
And all the branches burst to bloom
Am7 Cmaj7
in the boom
C Cmaj7 Am7
Heaven sent this cardinal maroon
D
To decorate our living room
[Chorus]
C D
And once upon it, the yellow bonnets
G C Cmaj7
Garland all the lawn
Am7 D
And you were waking, day was breaking
G C Cmaj7
A panoply of song
Am7 D
And summer comes to Springville Hill
[Bridge]
C D Em C Cmaj7
And years from now when this old light isn't ambling anymore
Am7 D G Gmaj7 Em7
Will I bring myself to write
C D G
"I give my best to Springville Hill"
[Chorus]
C D
And once upon it, the yellow bonnets
G C Cmaj7
Garland all the lawn
Am7 D
And you were waking, day was breaking
G C Cmaj7
A panoply of song
Am7 D
And summer comes to Springville Hill
