[Verse 1]

I'm a stone's throw from the mill

F C

And I'm a good walk to the river

F C

When my workin' day is over

Am G/B C

We'll go swim our cares away

Put your toes down in the water

F C

And a smile across your face

F C

And tell me that you love me

Am G/B C

Lovely Lady May

[Chorus 1]

Am C/B C

Now I ain't the sharpest chisel

F C

That your hands have ever held

Am G/B C

But darlin' I could love you well

F C

'Til the roll is called on high

Am G/B C

I've seen my share of trouble

F C

And I've held my weight in shame

F C

But I'm baptized in your name

Am G/B C

Lovely Lady May

[Verse 2]

Lord the wind can leave you shiverin'

F C

As it waltzes o'er the leaves

Am G/B C

It's been rushin' through my timber

F C

'Til your love brought on the spring

Now the mountains all are blushin'

F C

And they don't know what to say

Am G/B C

'Cept a good long line of praises

F C

For my lovely Lady May

[Chorus 2]

Am G/B C

Now I ain't the toughest hickory

F C

That your axe has ever felled

F C

But I'm a hickory just as well

Am G/B C

I'm a hickory all the same

Am G/B C

I came crashin' through the forest

F C

As you cut my roots away

F C

And I fell a good long ways

Am G/B C

For my lovely Lady May
