On a [Eb] fresh May morning [F] I took my [Eb] loaf to [Bb] church To [F] see a parson prune [Bb]-faced with [Eb] propolis of [Bb] birch
The sermon [F] scarcely started, someone [Eb] began to [Cm] snore When like [Gm] a sun-exceeded [Cm] wave, a green [Gm] and crimson [Cm] wave
A band of merry people came a-whooping through the [F] door
Lo, singing [Bb] come up [F] from in the [G] streamers, coming [Bb] with vows of may
For green [F] and white and true, the [Eb] longs of [Bb] night becomes the day
Jump up and [F] dance a [Eb] tomfool, jump [F] up and [Bb] duck and leap

[F] Lo, [Bb] singing come up [F] from in the [Cm] streamers, coming [Bb] with vows of may
For green [F] and white and true, [Eb] the longs [F] of night [Bb] becomes the day
The earth [F] is dressed in [Eb] flowers, the [F] deck [Bb] is in the wet
