[Intro]
G D7 G


[Verse 1]
      G
Springtime is coming sweet lonesome bird
     D7                     G
Your echo in the woodland I hear
G
Down in the meadow so lonesome your singing
              D7                  G
While the moonlight is shining so clear


[Chorus]
      C                   G
But I know he’s away in a far distant land
  D7                    G
A land that is over the sea
G
Go fly to him singing your sweet little song
    D7                       G
And tell him to come back to me


[Verse 2]
G
Sweet fern, sweet fern
   D7                           G
Oh tell me, is my darling still true
G
Sweet fern, sweet fern
        D7               G
I’ll be just as happy as you


[Instrumental]
C G  D7 G


[Verse 3]
G
Oh tell me sweet fern, is he thinking of me
        D7                    G
And the promise he made long ago
G
He said he’d return from over the sea
   D7                     G
Oh why do the years go so slow


[Chorus]
      C                   G
But I know he’s away in a far distant land
  D7                    G
A land that is over the sea
G
Go fly to him singing your sweet little song
    D7                       G
And tell him to come back to me


[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
G
Upon my finger he placed a small ring
       D7                     G
On the day he was leaving his home
G
I promised I’d be his own little girl
    D7                     G
And love him wherever he’d roam


[Chorus]
      C                   G
But I know he’s away in a far distant land
  D7                    G
A land that is over the sea
G
Go fly to him singing your sweet little song
    D7                       G
And tell him to come back to me


[Outro]
G
Sweet fern, sweet fern
   D7                           G
Oh tell me, is my darling still true
G
Sweet fern, sweet fern
        D7               G
I’ll be just as happy as you
