_ _ _ I'm a stone's throw from the mill, and [Ab] I'm a good walk [F] to the [Eb] river.
When [Abm] my working day [Eb] is over, we'll [Cm] go swim [D] our cares [Eb] away. _ _
_ _ _ Put your toes down in the water, _ _ [Abm] and a smile [Eb] across your face.
[Ab] And tell me that [Eb] you love me, _ [Cm] _
[D] lovely Lady [Eb] May. _ _ _
_ _ Now [Cm] I ain't [Dm] the [Eb] sharpest chisel that [Ab] your hands have ever [Eb] held.
_ [Cm] But darling, [D] I could love [Eb] you well, _ _ _ _ [Abm] till the roll is called [Eb] on. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] I've seen [D] my share [Eb] of trouble, and [Abm] I've held [Eb] my weight in shame.
_ _ But I'm baptized [Cm] in your [Eb] _ name, _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
[Gm] lovely Lady [Eb] May. _ _ _

_ Lord, the wind can leave you shivering, _ _ [Ab] as it waltzes over the [Eb] leaves. _
I've [Cm] been rushing [Eb] through my timber, till your love brought on the spring. _ _ _
_ Now the mountains all are blushing, _ [Ab] and they don't know what [Eb] to say. _
[Cm] Except a good [Dm] long [Eb] line of praises for [Ab] my lovely Lady [Eb] May. _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] Now I ain't [Dm] the [Eb] toughest hickory that [Ab] your axe has [Eb] ever felled.
[Ab] But I'm a hickory just [Eb] as well, _ [Cm] I'm a [Gm] hickory all [Eb] the same. _ _ _ _
I [Cm] came crashing [F] through the forest, [Eb] [Ab] as you cut my roots [Eb] away. _
[Ab] And I fell a good [F] long [Eb] ways [Cm] for my [Dm] lovely [Eb] Lady May. _ _ _ _
