Chord/Tab song: Can You Hear Me Down the Hillside

Written by
Melinda Schneider/Jim Lauderdale

Simple song to play if you just play chords
If you have the song on CD listen out for Rod McCormack
He just burns it up on the acoustic and the mandolin

Intro D

C[D]an you hear me down the hillside

I never get to feeling lonesome

All my friends are here with me

All the birdies in the branches

Like to watch me as I swing

Then I climb up there beside 'em

And we all begin to sing
Y[G]odel.......[D]

W[D]ell here's little Willy wagtail

He just flew into town

He always seems to find me

Whenever he's around

He promises that someday

He will teach me how to fly

Though he tells me in the meantime

I should just be satisfied with
Y[G]odel.......[D]

Solo Chords: D G D G A D

W[D]ell hello there Mr sunshine

Watching over land and sea

I think that it's about time

You harmonise with me

All the birdies in the branches

Like to watch me as I swing

Then I climb up there beside 'em

And we all begin to sing
Y[G]odel.......

C[D]an you hear me down the hillside X3
