D MajorD C majorC
When in the springtime of the year
A minorAm G+G
When the trees are crowned with leaves
D MajorD C majorC
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
A minorAm D MajorD
Are dressed in ribbons fair
D MajorD C majorC
When owls call the breathless moon
A minorAm G+G
In the blue veil of the night
D MajorD C majorC
The shadows of the trees appear
A minorAm D MajorD
Amidst the lantern light
D MajorD C majorC
We've been rambling all the night
G+G D MajorD
And some time of this day
D MajorD C majorC
Now returning back again
G+G D MajorD
We bring a garland gay
(C,Bb,C,D)x2
D MajorD C majorC
Who will go down to those shady groves
A minorAm G+G
And summon the shadows there
D MajorD C majorC
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
A minorAm D MajorD
In the springtime of the year
D MajorD C majorC
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
A minorAm G+G
That when the fiddler plays
D MajorD C majorC
All their voices can be heard
A minorAm D MajorD
Long past their woodland days
D MajorD C majorC
We've been rambling all the night
G+G D MajorD
And some time of this day
D MajorD C majorC
Now returning back again
G+G D MajorD
We bring a garland gay

D,F,C,D,Bb,C,G
D MajorD C majorC
And so they linked their hands and danced
A minorAm G+G
Round in circles and in rows
D MajorD C majorC
And so the journey of the night descends
A minorAm D MajorD
When all the shades are gone
D MajorD C majorC
"A garland gay we bring you here
A minorAm G+G
And at your door we stand
D MajorD C majorC
It is a sprout well budded out
A minorAm C majorC
The work of Our Lord's hand"

And some time of this day
