Tyler Childers – Lady May (Ukulele)

C
I'm a stone's throw from the mill

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

    F        C/G
When my workin' day is over

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

C/G
Put your toes down in the water

    F            C/G
And a smile across your face

    F          C/G
And tell me that you love me

Am     B/C  C/G
Lovely Lady May

    Am       B/C     C/G
Now I ain't the sharpest chisel

       F        C/G
That your hands have ever held

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

       F             C/G
Til' the roll is called on high

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

     F            C/G
And I've held my weight in shame

     Am      B/C     C/G
But I'm baptized in your name

F       C/G
Lovely Lady May

C
Lord the wind can leave you shiverin'

    F           C/G
As it waltzes o'er the leaves

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

       F            C/G
Til' your love brought on the spring

C/G
Now the mountains all are blushin'

     F            C/G
And they don't know what to say

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

     F      C/G
For my lovely Lady May

   Am         B/C    C
Now I ain't the toughest hickory

       F       C/G
That your ax has ever fell

     F           C/G
But I'm a hickory just as well

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

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

    F       C/G
As you cut my roots away

   Am      B/C      C/G
And I fell a good long ways

    F       C/G
For my lovely Lady May
