Verse
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
Chorus
      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

Verse
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
Chorus
      Am        B/C      C
Now I ain't the toughest hickory
          F           C/G
That your ax has ever felled
          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
