Tom: Em
G C G D G
[Verse 1]
As the sun rises high
C
And the circling bird’s cry
G Em A7 D
Is the only sound I ever hear
G
As the barn shadow falls
C
On the old cottage walls
G D G
I know why this place calls me each year
[Verse 2]
For it’s here I find peace
C
Where the world’s sorrows cease
G Em A7 D
And my heart is released from its toil
G
Where the tree offers fruits
C
The vine sends its shoots
G D G
And the wild cherry roots in the soil
[Verse 3]
C
And I leave well behind
G
All those things that I find
Em A7 D
Cause me pain and distress and despair
G
They don’t travel with me
C
When I sail ‘cross the sea
G D G
And drive down to La Jeusseliniere
[Chorus]
Em
My friends bring their song
C
And their laughter along
A7 D
Both belong on the sweet summer air
B7
Wine warms the night
C
‘Till the stars in delight
A7 D
Shine so bright on La Jeusseliniere
[Instrumental]
G C G Em A7 D G C G D G
[Chorus]
Em
My friends bring their song
C
And their laughter along
A7 D
Both belong on the sweet summer air
B7
Wine warms the night
C
‘Till the stars in delight
A7 D
Shine so bright on La Jeusseliniere
[Verse 4]
G
And when winter brings cold
C
So my body feels old
G Em A7 D
And the ice and snow hold us in thrall
G
I will still close my eyes
C
Till my freed spirit flies
G D G
Where the circling bird cries for us all
[Verse 5]
C
And I’ll leave well behind
G
All those things that I find
Em A7 D
Cause me pain and distress and despair
G
They don’t travel with me
C
When I sail ‘cross the sea
G D G
And drive down to La Jeusseliniere
They don’t travel with me
C
When I sail ‘cross the sea
G D G
And drive down to La Jeusseliniere
