Ooh..........................ahh

Bm.....Am..G....Em
There's a story told
...........Am7.........D7
Of a very gentle boy
...............G............Em........Am7...D7
And the girl who wore his ring
........................G.........Em
Through the wintery snow
........Am7...........................D7
The world they knew was one
..................G.......Em...Am7.D7.G
For their hearts were full of spring

............Em
As the days grew old
...............Bm
And the nights passed into time
...............Am7..........Am7/D........G
And the weeks and years took wing
.............Em
Gentle boy, tender girl
...........Bm
Their love remained still young

For their hearts were full of spring

Then one day they died
.................Bbm7........................Eb7
And their graves were side by side
.........Ab.............Fm.....Bbm7...Eb7
On a hill where robins sing
................Ab......Ab7
And they say violets
............Db.............................Dbm
Grow there the whole year round
.................Ab....Fm...Bbm7.Eb7.Db/Ab....Ab
For their hearts were full of spring
