Intro: (x2)
C/GC/G FF C/GC/G FF C/GC/G A minorAm B/C C/GC/G

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

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

Break: (x2)
C/GC/G FF C/GC/G FF C/GC/G A minorAm B/C C/GC/G

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

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