Lady May chords by Tyler Childers

Intro: (x2)
C/G F C/G F C/G Am B/C C/G

Verse:
C
I'm a stone's throw from the mill
     F        C/G
And I'm a good walk to the river
    F       C/G
When my workin' day is over
     Am    B/C  C/G
We'll go swim our cares away
C/G
Put your toes down in the water
   F         C/G
And a smile across your face
  F        C/G
And tell me that you love me
Am   B/C C/G
Lovely Lady May

Chorus:
   Am    B/C   C/G
Now I ain't the sharpest chisel
     F        C/G
That your hands have ever held
  Am       B/C   C/G
But darlin' I could love you well
     F         C/G
Til' the roll is called on high
   Am   B/C   C/G
I've seen my share of trouble
     F         C/G
And I've held my weight in shame
    Am    B/C   C/G
But I'm baptized in your name
F      C/G
Lovely Lady May

Break: (x2)
C/G F C/G F C/G Am B/C C/G

Verse:
C
Lord the wind can leave you shiverin'
   F        C/G
As it waltzes o'er the leaves
     Am   B/C    C/G
It's been rushin' through my timber
     F          C/G
Til' your love brought on the spring
C/G
Now the mountains all are blushin'
     F         C/G
And they don't know what to say
    Am    B/C   C/G
'Cept a good long line of praises
    F      C/G
For my lovely Lady May

Chorus:
   Am    B/C   C
Now I ain't the toughest hickory
     F      C/G
That your ax has ever felled
     F        C/G
But I'm a hickory just as well
   Am   B/C   C
I'm a hickory all the same
    Am    B/C     C
I came crashin' through the forest
    F      C/G
As you cut my roots away
   Am   B/C    C/G
And I fell a good long ways
    F      C/G
For my lovely Lady May
