[F] [Eb] [F] [Bb]
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
Jump up and [F] wake the people [Eb] that the [F] parson [Bb] puts to
[Eb] [Bb] sleep
[F] [Eb] [F] They [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] [F] [Eb] [F] [Bb]
read just [Eb] at Fontay [F]-Birds, the goddess fell in [Eb] showers
[Bb] Came [F] lads and lasses [Bb] after them with feet [Eb] like dancing [Bb] flowers
The [Eb] queen had torn her green [F] gown and [Eb] bared her shoulder white
[Cm] White as [Gm] the May that crowned [Cm] her, while all [Gm] the men still drowned [Cm] her
[Gm] Tilted back [Gm] their crimson hats and sang [Cm] for sheer delight
[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
Go on and [F] kiss the lady, [Eb] oh, [Bb] before the moment's [Eb] fled
[Bb] [F] [Eb]
[F] [Bb] The [Eb] [Bb] [F] [Eb]
[F] [Bb]
dusky [Eb] velvet hassocks [F] were cloaked with [Eb] fragrant dew
[Bb] The fondue [F] wine was [Bb] outpoured and brought the [Eb] ne'er-be-few
[Bb] The parson's [Eb] feet was frosted with [F] the [Eb] queen's authority [Cm] kiss
When like a [Gm] morris saber, [Cm] chomp or [Gm] raise his fever
[Cm] [Gm] Bounded [Cm] to the pulpwood and [Gm] commenced the [Cm] preaching fest
[F] Lo, singing [Bb] come up from [F] in the [Cm] streamers, coming with [Bb] vows of may
For [F] green and white and true, the [Eb] longs of [F] night [Bb] becomes the day
We sing of [F] life for risen [Eb] from the [F] lord of [Bb] shen and died
Your god's [F] alive in greenwood [Eb] with the [Fm] lady [Bb] by his [Eb]

Easter [Eb] done, no more [F] reserved, and it [Eb] cost our pay

[Bb] So stand with us, [Eb] join hand in hand, [F] and raise a [Eb] sacred call
[Cm] We sing of life [Gm] for risen, [Cm] we sing of [Gm] glory risen
