G    C    G  D  G

[Verse 1]

As the sun rises high 
        C
And the circling bird’s cry 
       G          Em     A7    D
Is the only sound I ever hear 
       G
As the barn shadow falls 
       C
On the old cottage walls 
       G              D             G
I know why this place calls me each year 


[Verse 2]

For it’s here I find peace 
          C
Where the world’s sorrows cease 
       G          Em              A7    D
And my heart is released from its toil 
          G
Where the tree offers fruits 
    C
The vine sends its shoots 
        G           D            G
And the wild cherry roots in the soil 


[Verse 3]
      C
And I leave well behind 
          G
All those things that I find 
         Em                    A7       D
Cause me pain and distress and despair 
           G
They don’t travel with me 
       C
When I sail ‘cross the sea 
          G          D       G
And drive down to La Jeusseliniere 


[Chorus]
   Em
My friends bring their song 
          C
And their laughter along 
       A7                       D
Both belong on the sweet summer air 
B7
Wine warms the night 
          C      
‘Till the stars in delight 
         A7                   D
Shine so bright on La Jeusseliniere 


[Instrumental]
G    C    G  Em  A7  D  G    C    G  D  G


[Chorus]
   Em
My friends bring their song 
          C
And their laughter along 
       A7                       D
Both belong on the sweet summer air 
B7
Wine warms the night 
          C      
‘Till the stars in delight 
         A7                   D
Shine so bright on La Jeusseliniere 


[Verse 4]
         G 
And when winter brings cold 
      C
So my body feels old 
        G            Em         A7      D
And the ice and snow hold us in thrall 
       G
I will still close my eyes 
        C
Till my freed spirit flies 
          G             D            G
Where the circling bird cries for us all 


[Verse 5]
         C
And I’ll leave well behind 
          G
All those things that I find 
         Em                    A7       D
Cause me pain and distress and despair 
           G
They don’t travel with me 
       C
When I sail ‘cross the sea 
          G          D       G
And drive down to La Jeusseliniere 
           
They don’t travel with me 
       C
When I sail ‘cross the sea 
          G          D       G
And drive down to La Jeusseliniere
