Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) (C sharp major) I'd (D major) love to rise on a
summer morn'
When the birds sing on
(D major) every tree
The distant (G major) huntsman (C sharp major) whines his (D major) horn
And the skylark sings with me
Oh, (C sharp major) what (D major) sweet company
But to go to (C sharp major) school in the summer morn
Oh, (G major) it drives all (E minor) joy (G major) away
Under (D major) a cruel eye outworn
The (C sharp major) little ones (G major) spend the day
(D major) In sighing (G major) and dis (D major) may
Ah, then at times (C sharp major) I drooping (G major) sit,
And spend many an anxious hour,
(D major) Nor in my books can I take delight,
Nor sit (G major) in learn (E minor) ing's (G major) bower, (C sharp major) (D major)
(C sharp major) How (D major) can the bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?
How can a child when (G major) fear's annoying
But droop his (D major) tender wing
(G major) an d (C sharp major) for get his (D major) youthful spring?
O father and mother, it buds a nip
And blossoms blown (G major) away
And if the tender (D major) plants
are stripped of their joy
In the springing (C sharp major) day
By (D major) sorrow and (G major) cares (D major) dismayed.
(G major) (F sharp major) How shall the (G major) summer arise in (D major) joy,
(G major) Or the summer fruits appear? (D major)
(G major) For how shall we gather (D major) what griefs destroy,
Or (B minor) bless the (G major) mellowing (A major) year
(D major) When the blasts of (B minor) winter ap (G major) pear?
(F sharp major) How (G major) shall the summer arise in joy
Or the summer fruits appear?
(A major) Or (D major) (G major) how shall we gather
what grief (D major) s destroy,
(G major) Or (B minor) bless (G major) the mellowing air (A major)
(D major) When the blasts of (G major) winter appear? now.
Ooh.
Ooh. (D major)
(G major) Ooh.
In (D major) the (G major) (G major) of (D major) (G major)
(G major) the Father, Holy Amen.
