First Of May chords
When DI was small, and Christmas F#mtrees were tall,
We Gused to love while Dothers used to Aplay.
Don't Dask me why, but time has F#mpassed us by,
GSomeone else moved Din from far aAway.
Now Gwe are tall, and Christmas Dtrees are small,
And Emyou don't ask the time of DdayD7.
But Gyou and I, our love will Dnever die,
But Emguess we'll Gcry come first of Dmay.A  
The Dapple tree that grew for F#myou and me,
I Gwatched the apples Dfalling one by Aone.
And DI recall the moment of F#mthem all,
The Gday I kissed your Dcheek and you were Amine.
Now Gwe are tall, and Christmas Dtrees are small,
And Emyou don't ask the time of DdayD7.
But Gyou and I, our love will Dnever die,
But Emguess we'll Gcry come first of Dmay.
When DI was small, and Christmas F#mtrees were tall,
GDo do do do Ddo do do do Ado...
Don't Dask me why, but time has F#mpassed us by,
GSome one else moved Din from far aAway.
