[Intro]
Am C G Am x2
[Verse 1]
Am C G Am
Now the winter is gone and the summer is come
Am G Am
The meadows are blooming and gay
Am G D A
I heard a young damsel so sweetly sang she
Am G Am
Her cheeks like the blossoms of May
[Verse 2]
Am C G Am
I said "Fair maiden, how came you here"
Am G Am
In the meadows this mornbing so soon,
Am G D A
Oh the maid she replied "for to gather some may
Am G Am
For the trees they are all in full bloom"
[Verse 3]
Am C G Am
I said "fair maiden will I go with you
Am G Am
through the blossoms to gather some may?"
Am G D A
Oh the maid she replied "I would rather refuse
Am G Am
For I'm a-feared you would lead me astray!"
[Verse 4]
Am C G Am
But then I took this fair maid by her lily-white hand
Am G Am
On the green mossy bank we sat down
Am G D A
I place-ed a kiss on her red rosy lips
Am G Am
With the little bird singing around
[Verse 5]
Am C G Am
Now when we arose from that green mossy grove
Am G Am
Through the meadows we wandered away
Am G D A
I place-ed my love on a primros-ey bank
Am G Am
And I plucked her a handful of may
[Verse 6]
Am C G Am
Now early next morning I made her my bride
Am G Am
That the world would have nothing to say
Am G D A
Oh the bells they did ring and the birds they did sing
Am G Am
And I crowned her the sweet queen of May
