[Verse 1]
      C
I'm a stone's throw from the mill

          F                C
And I'm a good walk to the river

        F              C
When my workin' day is over

         Am       G/B     C
We'll go swim our cares away

         C
Put your toes down in the water

      F                C
And a smile across your face

    F                C
And tell me that you love me

Am     G/B     C
Lovely Lady May
[Chorus 1]
      Am        C/B      C
Now I ain't the sharpest chisel

          F                   C
That your hands have ever held

    Am              G/B     C
But darlin' I could love you well

         F               C
'Til the roll is called on high

     Am      G/B      C
I've seen my share of trouble

         F                C
And I've held my weight in shame

        F               C
But I'm baptized in your name

Am     G/B     C
Lovely Lady May

[Verse 2]
         C
Lord the wind can leave you shiverin'

      F                      C
As it waltzes o'er the leaves

          Am      G/B        C
It's been rushin' through my timber

          F                   C
'Til your love brought on the spring

        C  
Now the mountains all are blushin'

         F                     C
And they don't know what to say

        Am        G/B      C
'Cept a good long line of praises

       F              C
For my lovely Lady May
[Chorus 2]
      Am        G/B      C
Now I ain't the toughest hickory

          F                  C
That your axe has ever felled

          F                   C
But I'm a hickory just as well

      Am      G/B         C
I'm a hickory all the same

       Am       G/B          C
I came crashin' through the forest

       F              C
As you cut my roots away

      F               C
And I fell a good long ways

       Am     G/B     C
For my lovely Lady May
