WHEN IT'S SPRINGTIME IN THE ROCKIES
Recorded by Gene Autry (1938)
Chorus:
(C) When it's Springtime in (G7) the (C) rockies,
I'll be coming back to (G7) you;
Little (F) sweetheart of the (G7) mountains,
With your bonnie eyes of (C) blue;
Once again I'll say (G7) I love (C) you,
While the birds sing (G7) all (C) the (G7) day.
When it's (F) Springtime in (C) the (G7) rockies,
In the rockies far (C) away.
(C) The twilight shadows deepen into night dear,
The city lights are gleaming o'er the (F) snow;
I sit alone beside the cheery fireside;
I'm (G7) dreaming dreams from out the long (C) ago;
I fancy it is Springtime in the rockies,
The flowers with their colors are (F) aflame;
And though I long to be back in the rockies,
I'll (G7) wait until the Springtime comes (C) again.
Chorus:
