Guitar chords with lyrics
Intro: x2 D,F,C,D,Bb,C,D D,F,C,D,Bb,C,G D C When in the springtime of the year Am G When the trees are crowned with leaves D C When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew Am D Are dressed in ribbons fair D C When owls call the breathless moon Am G In the blue veil of the night D C The shadows of the trees appear Am D Amidst the lantern light
D C We've been rambling all the night G D And some time of this day D C Now returning back again G D We bring a garland gay (C,Bb,C,D)x2 D C Who will go down to those shady groves Am G And summon the shadows there D C And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms Am D In the springtime of the year D C The songs of birds seem to fill the wood Am G That when the fiddler plays D C All their voices can be heard Am D Long past their woodland days D C We've been rambling all the night G D And some time of this day D C Now returning back again G D We bring a garland gay (C,Bb,C,D)x2 D,F,C,D,Bb,C,D D,F,C,D,Bb,C,G D C And so they linked their hands and danced Am G Round in circles and in rows D C And so the journey of the night descends Am D When all the shades are gone D C "A garland gay we bring you here Am G And at your door we stand D C It is a sprout well budded out Am C The work of Our Lord's hand" (D C We've been rambling all the night G D And some time of this day D C Now returning back again G D We bring a garland gay)x2 (C,Bb,C,D)x2 D,F,C,D,Bb,C,G D,F,C,D,Bb,C,D
