Greenhopper Tab por Vulcan’s Hammer

C               F                G            C
The greenhopper plays his merry fiddle in the grass,
                     F        G        C      Dm            G
The children try to catch him in their glass jar, in their glass jam 
C
jar.
         C          F                 G              C
Now the jam was of strawberry and the colour it was red;
                      F          G            C
The children used to have it on biscuits and bread.
    Dm               Am         F                 Dm           Am
But now they try to catch the green grasshopper, jumping from blade
  F
to blade,
Dm      Am      F          G         C
Jumps into the shade on a hot summer day.

Chorus (repeated after each verse):
        Dm         G         C
And the hills are green once more,
    Dm         G        C
The hills the pilgrims saw
       Dm       G     C
On their way to Canterbury,
       Dm      G      C  F G C
On their way to Canterbu-u-u-ury.
      C                  F        G                  C       
Oh the primrose-coloured flowers peeping through the hedge-rows.
     C               F              G                C 
The sparrows and the thrushes sing, “Look how the sun glows!”
         Dm      G       C              Dm     G      C
And the skylark flies so high, sees the world passing by.

(Chorus)
        C                F          G              C
Now the children running helter-skelter cross the land.
    C          F           G          C
The man on the tractor, he waves his hand,
        Dm         Am             Dm     Am
Saying, “Look over there, see the fox's lair,
        Dm           Am        F
See the cubs running fast and fair.”


(Chorus)

        C            F               G       C
Now the sparrow-hawk flies from the old oak tree,
     C            F            G        C
The hares and the rabbits they all run free.
     Dm       G         C                Dm        G    C
For summer is come once more, that's the time the kids adore.
            C        F      G    C
And all the bells in Canterbury ring

(Final chorus:)
          C         F         G  C
That the hills are green once more
     Dm        G       C
The hills the pilgrims saw
    Dm           G     C
On their way to Canterbury,
         Dm      G    C  F  G  C
On their way to Canterbu-u-u-ury.
