When the red, red robin comes

Bob, bob bobbin' along,   along, 
            G          
There'll be no more sobbin' when

Still I listen for hours    and hours. 
C          Am    
I'm just a kid again,

Doin' what I did again, 
G   G/F#  Gdim  Edim 
Singin' a song 
D9       G         G6 
When the red, red robin comes 
D9       D7        G    Am7   G 
Bob, bob bobbin' along.
