G                D/F#           Em   G           D/F#           Em 
Here's a hymn to welcome in the day, heralding a summer's early sway 
                             C  C/B      Am  G/A 
And all the bulbs are coming in     to begin 
    C                 C/B             Am                G/A     D/F# 
The thrushes bleeding battle with the wrens disrupts my reverie again

Pegging clothing on the line 
Training jazzmen how to find up the arbor to your door, anymore 
Standing on the landing with the war you shouldered all the night before 


Chorus 1:  
C              D/F#             G              C

C                 D/F#                   G              C 
  You were waking   and day was breaking,  a panoply of song

  And summer comes to Springville Hill

A barony of ivy in the trees, expanding out its empire by degrees 
And all the branches burst to bloom, in the boon 
Heaven sent this card and all maroon did decorate our living room

Once upon it, yellow bonnets, garland all along 
You were waking, day was breaking, a panoply of song 
And summer comes to Springville Hill 


Bridge: 
C                D/F#              Em          C 
  And years from now when this old light isn't ambling anymore 
C      D/F#            G      D/F#      Em  
Will I bring myself to writ-e-ite-e-ite-ite-e-ite 
C                   D/F#            G 
  I give my best to Springville Hill

Once upon it, yellow bonnets, garland all along 
You were waking, day was breaking, a panoply of song 
And summer comes to Springville Hill
