Chorus:
G+G    D MajorD       G+G   (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
Thyme it is a precious thing
   G+G      A augmentedA     A7A7  D MajorD  D7D7
(And)Thyme brings all things to my mind
G+G         G7G7    C majorC         D MajorD  D7D7
Thyme with all its labours, along with all its joys
G+G       D MajorD     D7D7  G+G  (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
Thyme, brings all things to an end.

G+G   D MajorD   D7D7    G+G   (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
Once I had a bunch of thyme
 G+G     A augmentedA   A7A7   D MajorD  D7D7
I thought it never would decay
 G+G       G7G7     C majorC        D MajorD D7D7
Until a handsome sailor, he happened to pass by
    G+G    D MajorD    D7D7   G+G  (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
And he stole my bunch of thyme away

  G+G    D MajorD        G+G  (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
My love, my love is like the sun
G+G   A augmentedA    A7A7    D MajorD  D7D7
In the pleasant month of June
  G+G      G7G7    C majorC       D MajorD   D7D7
Now I am like a sun that wonders up and down
  G+G   D MajorD    D7D7    G+G   (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
But you my love are like the moon

Chorus

  G+G       D MajorD      G+G  (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
In June there's a red and rosy bush
  G+G    A augmentedA       A7A7 D MajorD  D7D7
The sharpest thorns are at its heart
G+G       G7G7     C majorC         D MajorD    D7D7
Never put your hand in to pick those pretty flowers
  G+G      D MajorD   D7D7    G+G   (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
Or else you'll surely feel the smart.

G+G   D MajorD       G+G  (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
When I wore my apron low
  G+G    A augmentedA     A7A7    D MajorD  D7D7
He followed me through frost and snow
  G+G     G7G7   C majorC      D MajorD  D7D7
And now that I wear my apron to my chin
G+G      D MajorD   D7D7    G+G  (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
He sails on by and says nothing.

Chorus

   G+G   D MajorD        G+G  (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
There is an ale house in the town
   G+G    A augmentedA   A7A7    D MajorD  D7D7
Where my true lover sits him down
    G+G         G7G7       C majorC        D MajorD  D7D7
You can see him take those flash girls and sit then on his knee
  G+G   D MajorD  D7D7   G+G  (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
And never ever mention me.

G+G    D MajorD         G+G  (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G+G    A augmentedA    A7A7    D MajorD  D7D7
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G+G         G7G7       C majorC        D MajorD  D7D7
See him take those flash girls and sit them on his knee
     G+G    D MajorD    D7D7   G+G (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
Can't you see what love has done to me.

Final Chorus:
(Unaccompanied)
Thyme it is a precious thing

Thyme brings all things to my mind
G+G         G7G7    C majorC         D MajorD  D7D7
Thyme with all its labours, along with all its joys
G+G       D MajorD     D7D7  G+G  (C majorC D7D7 G+G)
