Maple on the Hill
Maple on the Hill
by Hank Locklin
GCG
Here upon the quiet country village stood the maple on the hill
D7
There I sat with my Geneva long ago
GC
When the stars were shining brightly we could hear the whippoorwill
D7G
As we sat beneath the maple on the hill
CG
We would sing love songs together when the birds had gone to rest
D7
And we'd listened to the murmur of the leaves
CG
Then you'd throw your arms around me lay your head upon my chest
D7G
As we sat beneath the maple on the hill
CG
Now we're getting old and feeble and our hair is turning grey
D7
We no longer hear the rippling of the leaves
CG
Still I always love you darling as I did those starry nights
D7G
When we sat beneath the maple on the hill
CG
Don't forget me little darling as they lay me down to rest
D7
Will you keep this final promise that you gave
CG
While you linger there in silence thinking only of the past
D7G
May your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave
