[Intro]
 
G
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G                D/F#           Em   G           D/F#           Em
Here's a hymn to welcome in the day, heralding a summer's early sway
                             C  C/B      Am  G/Am
And all the bulbs are coming in     to begin
    C                 C/B             Am                G/Am     D/F#
The thrushes bleeding battle with the wrens disrupts my reverie again
 
 
[Verse 2]
(Use verse 1 chords)
 
Pegging clothing on the line
Training jasmine how to vine up the arbor to you door, anymore
Standing on the landing with the war you shouldered all the night before
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
C              D/F#             G              C
  Once upon it,  yellow bonnets,  garland all along
Am                 D/F#                   G              C
  You were waking   and day was breaking,  a panoply of song
D                     C/G             G
  And summer comes to Springville Hill
 
 
[Verse 3]
(use verse 1 chords)
 
A barony of ivy in the trees, expanding out its empire by degrees
And all the branches burst to bloom, in the boon
Heaven sent this Cardinal marooned to decorate our living room
 
 
[Chorus 2]
(use chorus 1 chords)
 
Once upon it, yellow bonnets, garland all along
You were waking, day was breaking, a panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville Hill
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C                D/F#              Em          C
  And years from now when this old light isn't ambling anymore
C      D/F#            G      D/F#      Em
Will I bring myself to writ-Will I bring myself to writ-e-ite-e-ite-ite-e-ite
C                   D/F#            G
  I give my best to Springville Hill
 
 
[Interlude]
 
[G - Em - G - Em], then
[C - C/B - Am - G/Am], then
[C - C/B - Am - G/Am - D/F#]
 
 
[Chorus 3]
(use chorus 1 chords)
 
Once upon it, yellow bonnets, garland all along
You were waking, day was breaking, a panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville Hill
