AMay I Emake my F#mfond excAuses
Afor the lDateness Gof the hAour,
but Awe accEept your F#minvitAation, 
Aand we Dbring you GBeltane's Aflower.
BFor the F#May Day G#mis the Bgreat day, 
Bsung alEong the oAld straight tBrack.
And Bthose who aF#ncient lG#mines did lBay
will Bheed the Esong that cAalls them Bback.
GPass the Gword and Cmaj7pass the Cmaj7lady, 
Dpass the Gplate to Emall who Emhunger.
        C        D        B  Asus4-  D  
Pass the wit of ancient wisdom, 
        G        G         D     D  D-Dsus4-D-Dsus4... 
pass the cup of crimson wonder.                  x2
Ask the green man where he comes from, 
ask the cup that fills with red.
Ask the old grey standing stones that 
show the sun its way to bed.
Question all as to their ways,
and learn the secrets that they hold.
Walk the lines of nature's palm
crossed with silver and with gold.
Pass the cup and pass the lady, 
pass the plate to all who hunger.
Pass the wit of ancient wisdom, 
pass the cup of crimson wonder.
Join in black December's sadness,
lie in August's welcome corn.
Stir the cup that's ever-filling
with the blood of all that's born.
But the May Day is the great day, 
sung along the old straight track.
And those who ancient lines did lay
will heed this song that calls them back.
Pass the word and pass the lady, 
pass the plate to all who hunger.
Pass the wit of ancient wisdom, 
pass the cup of crimson wonder. 
I did not yet have the time to tab the solo, so if anyone has it, please post!

Ask the green man where he comes from,

ask the cup that fills with red.

Ask the old grey standing stones that

show the sun its way to bed.

Question all as to their ways,

and learn the secrets that they hold.

Walk the lines of nature's palm

crossed with silver and with gold.

Pass the cup and pass the lady,

pass the plate to all who hunger.

Pass the wit of ancient wisdom,

pass the cup of crimson wonder.

Join in black December's sadness,

lie in August's welcome corn.

Stir the cup that's ever-filling

with the blood of all that's born.

But the May Day is the great day,

sung along the old straight track.

And those who ancient lines did lay

will heed this song that calls them back.

Pass the word and pass the lady,

pass the plate to all who hunger.

Pass the wit of ancient wisdom,

pass the cup of crimson wonder.
