Mockin Bird Hill

Les Paul & Mary Ford


Tom: C

C                                 F
When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill
    G7                      C 
And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill
                                       F
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
       G7                       C
Of the birds in the treetops on Mockingbird Hill

Chorus:

C                C7         F          C
Tra-la-latwiddly-dee-dee it gives me a thrill
   G7                            C
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill
                      C7          F              C
Tra-la-la twiddly-dee-dee there's peace and good will
       G7                        C
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockingbird Hill

C                                F
Got a three cornered plow and an acre to till
      G7                       C
And a mule that I bought for a ten dollar bill
                                   F
There's a tumble down shack and an old rusty mill
         G7                    C
But it's my home sweet home on Mockingbird Hill

Chorus:

C                     C7     F          C
Tra-la-la twiddly-dee-dee it gives me a thrill
   G7                            C
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill
                      C7          F              C
Tra-la-la twiddly-dee-dee there's peace and good will
       G7                        C
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockingbird Hill



C                               F
When it's late in the evening I climb up the hill
    G7                                       C
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
                           F
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
     G7                    C
It's my home sweet home on Mockingbird Hill

Chorus:

C                     C7     F          C
Tra-la-la twiddly-dee-dee it gives me a thrill
   G7                            C
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill
                      C7          F              C
Tra-la-la twiddly-dee-dee there's peace and good will
       G7                        C
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockingbird Hill
