G   D 

[Verse 1]
G           D          G 
    If the song of the songbird,
         D       G
Could replace my wrong word
        D                A            D
then my dear, that's the song I would borrow


[Chorus]
      G               G#dim
And tonight you would hear
            D           Bm
The saddest song of the year
             E7         A7           D
And you'd be mine once again, come tomorrow
 
[Verse 2]
G            D          G 
     If the song of the swallow,
        D       G
Could reveal my sorrow
         D              A            D    
Then my dear, he would sing just for you.

[Chorus]
      G               G#dim
And tonight you would hear
            D           Bm
The saddest song of the year
             E7         A7           D
And you'd be mine once again, come tomorrow

[Bridge]

D D/C# D/B      A                       
        Just tonight, while in flight,
   A7   D                D
On your window sill they light

   G         Em         A
To tell you,  all of my tears.

[Chorus]
      G               G#dim
And tonight you would hear
            D           Bm
The saddest song of the year
             E7         A7           D
And you'd be mine once again, come tomorrow

[Verse 3]
G            D          G 
     If the song of the swallow,
        D       G
Could reveal my sorrow
         D              A            D    
Then my dear, he would sing just for you.

[Chorus]
           G                        G#dim7
Oh, yes, tonight, tonight you would hear
            D           Bm
The saddest song of the year 
             E7         A            D
And you'd be mine once again, come tomorrow


[Chorus]
           G                        G#dim
Oh, yes, tonight, tonight you would hear
            D           Bm
The saddest song of the year 
              E7                        A7           D
And you'd be mine, you'd be mine  once again, come tomorrow.

[Outro- fade]
G                                  G#dim 
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, Mr. Songbird
            D                     Bm
Come on and sing just once little swallow
             E7         A7           D
and make her mine once again, come tomorrow
