Maple on the Hill

by Hank Locklin

G                                             C            G

Here upon the quiet country village stood the maple on the hill

D7

There I sat with my Geneva long ago

G                                             C

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

D7

And we'd listened to the murmur of the leaves

                                              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 grey

D7

We no longer hear the rippling of the leaves

                                         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

D7

Will you keep this final promise that you gave

                                           C           G

While you linger there in silence thinking only of the past

                            D7            G

May your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave
