G A
As the blackbird in the spring
D7 G
neath the willow tree
A
Sat and piped I heard him
D G
sing sing of Aura Lea
G B7 Em G7 C
Aura Lea Aura Lea maid with
Cm G
golden hair
E7 A
Sunshine came along with thee
D G
and swallows in the air
G A
In thy blush the rose was born
D7 G
music when you spake
A
Through thine azure eye the
D G
morn sparkling seemed to break
G B7 Em G7 C
Aura Lea Aura Lea birds of
C G
crimson wing
E7 A
Ne'er a song have sung to me
D G
As in that sweet spring
G A
Aura Lee the bird may flee
D7 G
The willow's golden hair
A
Swing through winter fitfully
D G
on the stormy air
G B7 Em G7
Yet if thy blue eyes I see
C Cm G
gloom will soon depart
E7 A7
For to me sweet Aura Lea
D G
Is sunshine through the heart
G A
When the mistletoe was green
D7 G
midst the winter's snows
A
Sunshine in thy face was seen
D G
kissing lips of rose
G B7 Em G7 C
Aura Lea Aura Lea take my
Cm G
golden ring
E7 A
Love and light return with thee
D G
as swallows with the spring
