Verse 1:

Am         Em         Am
 I heard a robin this morning
            Em    Am
I'm feeling happy today
       C       Fdim       Am
Goin topack my cares in a whistle
    Dm        E7    Am
And blow them all a way

        Em          Am
What if I've been unlucky
       Em        Am
Really haven't a thing
          C      Fdim        Am
There's a time I always feel happy
   D7         G7   GdimG7
As happy as a king

Chorus:

         C
When the red red robin comes
G7               C
Bob bob bobbin a long, along
There’ll be no more sobbin'
     G7                      C         C7
When he starts throbbin' his old sweet song

F
Wake up, wake up you sleepy head
C          Am
Get up get up get out of bed
D7
Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red
G7   Gdim  G7
Live, love, laugh and be happy

C
What if I've been blue
G7                     C
Now I'm walkin through fields of flowers
                     G7                 C         C7+5
Rain may glisten but still I listen for hours and hours

F
I'm just a kid again
Fm                    C          Cdim
Doin what I did again, singing a song
         C
When the red red robin comes
G7               C     E7
Bob bob bobbin a long

Verse 2:

Am            Em          Am
Tho' rain may fall in the evening
             Em          Am
And rain may fall in the night
         C     Fdim         Am
When the robin sings in the morning
  Dm       E7     Am
I know the sun is bright

       Em           Am
I keep still when I hear him
        Em      Am
Singin' up in a tree
        C      Fdim     Am
For the little angel of gladness
       D7           G7 GdimG7
Brings happiness to me
