Aura Lee

• G

G      Gdim      A7               Am7      D7      G      D 
As the blackbird in the spring, 'neath the willow tree, 
 
G       Gdim      A7             Am7     D7    G 
Sat and piped, I heard him sing, sing of Aura Lee. 
G    G/F#  B7        C   C/B  Am7  Am7/G  B7 
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid with gol - den  hair, 
 E7    Bm7/5-   A7                   Am7     D7      G 
Sunshine came along with thee, and swallows in the air. 
 
 
On her cheek the rose was born, 'twas music when she spoke; 
In her eyes the light of morn with glorious splendor broke. 
 
Repeat Refrain: 
 
Take my heart and take my ring, I give by all to thee; 
Take me for eternity, Dearest Aura Lee. 
 
Repeat Refrain: 
 
Aura Lee, the birds may flee the willow's golden hair; 
Then the wintry winds may be blowing ev'rywhere. 
 
Final Refrain: 
 
Yet if they blue eyes I see, gloom will soon depart; 
For to me, sweet Aura Lee, is sunshine to the heart.
