E7    A7      Em        B+        A7     A7+5      D   D6  B7
Every little breeze is sighing of love undying at sundown,

E7    A7      Em      B+          A7     A7+5        D   D6 F#7
Every little bird is resting and feather nesting at sundown.

A7  Bm7-5      Cdim    A7    Cdim   Bm7-5  E7   
Each lit - tle rose - bud is sleep - ing, 

A7   Bm7-5  Cdim A7 Cdim  D     Cdim  A7
While sha - dows     are creep - ing,

E7    A7    Em7      B+        A7        A7+5      D   D6  D  D6
In a little cottage cozy the world seems rosy at sundown

E7      A7      Em        B+            A7   A7+5         D   D6 F#7
Where a loving smile will greet me and always meet me at sundown.

A7 Bm7-5  Cdim  A7    Cdim   Bm7-5  E7   
I seem to sigh, I'm in heav - en,

A7   Bm7-5   Cdim        A7          Cdim           D 
When night is fall - ing and love is call - ing me home.
