June Hymn

G

[Verse 1]
G                  D              Em   G           D              Em
Here's the hymn to welcome in the day, heralding a summer's early sway
                             C    C        Am    C
And all the bulbs all coming in   to begin
    C                 C               Am                G       D
The thrushes bleating battle with the wrens disrupts my reverie again

[Verse 2]
G       D               Em
Pegging clothing on the line
G        D              Em                        C         Am
Training jasmine how to vine up the arbor to your door, and more
C                      C                Am                 G
You're standing on the landing with the war you shouldered all the night
D
before

[Chorus 1]
C                  D                     G               C
And once upon it,  the yellow bonnets,  garland all the lawn
Am                    D                      G              C
And you were waking   and day was breaking,  a panoply of song
D                   C           G
And summer comes to Springville Hill

[Verse 3]
G           D          Em     G                 D         Em
A barony of ivy in the trees, expanding out its empire by degrees
G           D                 Em            Am
And all the branches burst to bloom, in the boom
C                D        Em        C            D
Heaven sent this cardinal maroon to decorate our living room

[Chorus 2]
C                  D                     G          C
And once upon it,  the yellow bonnets,  garland all along
Am                    D                      G              C
And you were waking   and day was breaking,  a panoply of song
D                   C           G
And summer comes to Springville Hill

[Bridge]
C               D                 Em          C
And years from now when this old light isn't ambling anymore
Am      D              G      D         Em
Will I bring myself to writ-E-ite-E-ite-ite-E-ite
C                 D           G
I give my best to Springville Hill

[Interlude]
[G - Em - G - Em], then
[C - C - Am - G], then
[C - C - Am - G - D]

[Chorus 3]
C                  D                     G          C
And once upon it,  the yellow bonnets,  garland all along
Am                    D                      G              C
And you were waking   and day was breaking,  a panoply of song
D                   C           G
And summer comes to Springville Hill
