[Verse 1]
BmWell time, she did F#mas time she does
SGhe passed along her F#mway
And daBmwn she crept like a F#mfrightened girl
GOut from the night F#mtime’s sway
BmBut in the merry mF#month of May
GA solemn fact does F#mlurk
BmFor spring, it spraF#mng as spring it does
And pAut the bees to wA7ork
Bm F#m G F#m
[Verse 2]
BmAnd work they must, F#mand work they shall
GFor all the thingF#ms to grow
BmFor if they don’t, F#mas time she knows
They’Gd wither on the bF#mough
BmAnd what a shame sF#much things would be
No wGondrous wine for F#myou and me
BmNo cider too, nor F#mmead nor soup
For Aus to all make A7merry
[Verse 3]
So roBmt, ferment and decoF#mmpose
So Gall the things caF#mn grow
Or Bmwallow in a drinklF#mess world
And Gwither on the boF#mugh
Oh, whaBmt a dusty burden that nectar anF#md that pollen
GLike Atlas with tF#mhe heavens on the back of his head
And wBmhat if they should falter and sF#mhrug their little shoulders?
Well tAime, she’d pass all the sA7ame

F#m

[Verse 1]

Bm F#m

Well time, she did as time she does

G F#m

She passed along her way

Bm F#m

And dawn she crept like a frightened girl

G F#m

Out from the night time’s sway

Bm F#m

But in the merry month of May

G F#m

A solemn fact does lurk

Bm F#m

For spring, it sprang as spring it does

A A7

And put the bees to work

Bm F#m G F#m

[Verse 2]

Bm F#m

And work they must, and work they shall

G F#m

For all the things to grow

Bm F#m

For if they don’t, as time she knows

G F#m

They’d wither on the bough

Bm F#m

And what a shame such things would be

G F#m

No wondrous wine for you and me

Bm F#m

No cider too, nor mead nor soup

A A7

For us to all make merry

[Verse 3]

Bm F#m

So rot, ferment and decompose

G F#m

So all the things can grow

Bm F#m

Or wallow in a drinkless world

G F#m

And wither on the bough

Bm F#m

Oh, what a dusty burden that nectar and that pollen

G F#m

Like Atlas with the heavens on the back of his head

Bm F#m

And what if they should falter and shrug their little shoulders?

A A7

Well time, she’d pass all the same
