#

Down In The Meadow
( sang that song in the famous western movie River of no
Return)

[C] When Mr. [G] Southwind [C] sighs in the [G] pine
[C] Old Mr. [G] Winter [C] whimpers and [G] whines
[F] Down in the [G]meadow [F] under the [G] snow
[C] April is teaching green things to grow [Cmaj]

[C] When Mr. [G] Westwind [C] hums in the [G] glade
[C] Old Mr. [G] Summer [C] nods in the [G] shade
[F] Down in the [G] meadow [F] deep in the [G] brook
[F] Catfish are [G] waitin« for the [C*] hook

[F] Old Lady Blackbird [C] flirts with the scarecrows
[G7] Scarecrow is waving at the [C*] moon
[F] Old Mr. Moon makes [C] hearts everywhere go
[D7**] Bump... bump... with the magic of [G] June

[C] When Mr. [G] Eastwind [C] shouts over[G]head
[C] Then all the [G] leaves turn [C] yellow and [G] red
[F] Down in the [G] meadow [F]cornstocks are [G] high
[F]Pumpkins are [G] ripe and [G7] ready [F] for [C*] pie

[F] Old Lady Blackbird [C] flirts with the scarecrows
[G7] Scarecrow is waving at the [C*] moon
[F] Old Mr. Moon makes [C] hearts everywhere go
[D7**] Bump... bump... with the magic of [G] June

[C] When Mr. [G] Northwind [C] roars on the [G] breeze
[C] Old Father [G] Christmas [C] trims all the [G] trees
[F] Down in the [G] meadow [F] snow softly [G] gleems
[F] Earth goes to [G] sleep and [G7] smiles in [F] her [C] dream

(* play single notes: C Bb A G)
(**Marilyn just plays the cord once, then she bumps on her guitar and keeps
Tacet till G)

(originally in Bb - I think guitar is tuned down)
