Dm              G
Lover, tell me, if you can

Dm              G
Who's gonna buy the wedding bands?

Hard, and getting harder all the time

Lover, when I sing my song

All the rivers will sing along

     Dm                       F
And they're gonna break their banks for us

Dm              G
And with their gold be generous

Dm              G
All a-flashing in the pan

All to fashion for your hand

The rivers are gonna give us the wedding bands

Dark, and getting darker all the time

And bend their branches down to me

To lay their fruit around my feet

   Dm              G
The almond and the apple

        Dm              G
And the sugar from the maple

The trees gonna lay the wedding table

And they'll come flying round to me

    Dm                 G
To lay their feathers at my feet

     Dm                G
And we'll lie down in eiderdown

   Dm              G
A pillow 'neath our heads

The birds are gonna make the wedding bed

And the trees are gonna lay the wedding table
