Verse 1:

Bb                Eb
Through fields of golden flowers
Bb             Cm    G7
Where we spent sunny hours
C7             F7
I'm stolling a-long
             Bb
Think-in' of you
BdimF7


Bb       Eb
I told a four leaf clover
Bb           Cm       G7
My lone-some days are over
C7
I talk about you,
            F7      E7F7F7+
All the day through

Chorus:

    Bb
I'm tell-in' the birds,
Eb
Tell-in' the bees
Bb
Tell-in the flow'rs
Cm           G7
Tell-in' the trees
C7  F7     Bb BdimF7
How I love you

    Bb
I'm tell-in' the moon
Eb
Tell-in' the sun
Bb
Tell-in' the stars
Cm            G7
Tell-in' each one
C7  F7     Bb Bb7
How I love you

Eb        Dbdim       Bb   G7
I feel so happy and I show it
Cm         G7         C7       F7
I want the whole wide world to know it

    Bb
The shady old nook
Eb
Shadows that fall
Bb
Little old brook
    Cm            G7
I'm tell-in' them all
C7  F7     Bb BdimF7
How I love you

Verse 2:

Bb            Eb
Here where we used to wander
Bb      Cm       G7
I sit a-lone and ponder
C7                F7
“Day dreaming" of you
           Bb
All of the time
BdimF7
 

Bb           Eb
If you don't think I love you,
Bb           Cm     G7
Just ask the stars a-bove you
C7
For since you told me
              F7   E7F7F7+
That you'd be mine

Repeat Chorus:
Bb
