Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  [G/f#] /

INTRO and POST-CHORUS

The intro is G but then he hammers on (and pulls off) on the D and B strings

(essentially making a C with G bass):

So strum a G, then hammer on, strum a few more, then pull off on a strum. Repeat four

times. Listen to the song for exact timing.

Verse

[G/f#] *

Here's a hymn to welcome in the day

[G/f#]

Heralding a summer's early sway

  * [ ]

And all the bulbs all coming in ... to begin

The thrushes bleating battle with the wrens disrupts my reverie again

[G/f#] *

Pegging clothing on the line

[G/f#]

Training Jasmine how to vine

  * [ ]

Up the arbour to your door ... and more

You're standing on the landing with the war you shouldered all the night before

Chorus

Once upon it, yellow bonnets

Garland all the lawn

You were waking, day was breaking

A panoply of song

Summer comes to Springville Hill

[INTRO] x2

Verse

[G/f#] *

A barony of ivy in the trees

[G/f#]

Expanding out its empire by degrees

  * [ ]

And all the branches burst to bloom ... in the boom

Heaven sent this cardinal marooon to decorate our living room

Chorus

Once upon it, yellow bonnets

Garland all the lawn

You were waking, day was breaking

A panoply of song

Summer comes to Springville Hill

G [INTRO] x2 but halfway through the second time:

Years from now when this old light isn't ambling anymore

[G/f#]

Will I bring my self to wri-ei-ei-ei-iiite

  [INTRO]

I give my best to Springville Hill

Verse chords during harmonica solo

Chorus

Once upon it, yellow bonnets

Garland all the lawn

You were waking, day was breaking

A panoply of song

** [INTRO]

Summer comes to Springville Hill
