Carter Family - The Birds Were Singing Of You guitar chord

A D

Last night the pale moon was shining

A E7

Last night when all was still

A D

I wandered alone in sadness

A E7 A

Out among the woodland hills.

I heard the birds a-singing

Out among the trees and views

And every bird, my darling

Was singing, was singing of you.

D A

Chorus: Was singing, singing of you, my love

E7

Was singing, was singing of you

A D

And every bird, my darling

A E7 A

Was singing, was singing of you.

I think of you in the daytime

I dream of you at night

I wake and wish you were here, love,

And tears are blinding my sight.

The flowers that slumber so sweetly

The stars above the blue

Oh heaven itself, my darling

Is thinking, is thinking of you.

Chorus: Is thinking, is thinking of you, my love

Is thinking, is thinking of you

Oh heaven itself, my darling

Is thinking, is thinking of you.

I open my window so gently

And look on the dreamy view

The world itself, my darling

Is sighing, is sighing for you.

Chorus: Is sighing, is sighing for you, my love

Is sighing, is sighing for you

The world itself, my darling

Is sighing, is sighing for you
