Where you live you say the view is so beautiful
D Em A
And the AstroTurf that's on your lawn stays green the whole year 'round
D G D
And the buildings are so tall they almost reach heaven
G D A D
But do you ever, ever hear the robins sing
[Chorus]
Em G D
Do you hear the robins singing in the springtime
A
While a mockingbird sings his happy song
D G D
Is all the beauty in your world this artificial thing
G D A D
Do you ever, ever hear the robins sing
D G
Where I live the butterflies still kiss the roses
D Em A
And for- get-me-nots still grow a- long the shady lane
D G D
And the weeping willow trees still swaying in the breeze
G D A D
And often I still hear the robins sing
[Chorus]
Em G D
Do you hear the robins singing in the springtime
A
While a mockingbird sings his happy song
D G D
Is all the beauty in your world this artificial thing
G D A D
Do you ever, ever hear the robins sing
