[Verse 1]
C C
In the morning of my life,
C
I ran through the hills,
C
And the whipoorwills
Dm7
Sang their songs just for me.
G7 Dm7
And each brand new day
G7 C
Was a sweet melody.
[Verse 2]
C C
In the morning of my life,
C
We'd swim in the creek,
C
Playing hide and seek
D7 D D7
Like the wind wild and free.
Dm7
And each brand new day
G C
Was a sweet melody.
[Refrain]
G C G C
But now the world has grown so old
F
The songs have been sung!
Am Em C G C
There's no one left for me to hold,
F C D7 G Dm7 C
But all of my memories remain so young
[Verse 3]
C F
In the twilight of my life,
C
I dream of the hills
C
And the whipoorwills
D7
Who once sang just for me.
Dm7
Day is fading fast,
Dm7
And now alas
G7 C G
The evening is near!
[Refrain]
G Am
Evening is here!
F C G
How I long for one more song
Dm7 Gsus4
Out of the sweet
C
Morning of my life.
