    D         A       Bm             D
The birds are singing in your eyes today
Em            A               D
Sweet flowers blossom in your smile
    D        A       Bm               D
The wind and sun are in the words you say
Em               A              G D
Where might your lonesome lover b-e?

D            A             Bm        D
Birds may be singing in my eyes this day
Em            A              D
Sweet flowers blossom when I smile
       D       A      Bm                 D
But my soul is stormy and my heart blows wild
   Em                 A           G  D
My sweetheart rides a ship on the se-ea.

          D       A      Bm                 D
Though my soul is stormy and my heart blows wild
Em             A              G D
Where might my lonesome lover b-e?
