[Verse]
      Eb                         
I'm a stone's throw from the mill
          Ab               Fm7  
And I'm a good walk to the river
        Ab             Eb  
When my workin' day is over
         Cm             Eb  
We'll go swim our cares away
Eb                             
Put your toes down in the water
      Ab           Eb       
And a smile across your face
    Fm7              Eb     
And tell me that you love me
Cm          Eb 
Lovely Lady May
      Cm                 Eb    
Now I ain't the sharpest chisel
          Ab              Eb  
That your hands have ever held
Cm                           Eb  
But darlin' I could love you well
         Fm7            Eb     
Til' the roll is called on high
Cm           Bb       Eb     
I've seen my share of trouble
         Ab             Eb      
And I've held my weight in shame
                    Eb       
But I'm baptized in your name
Cm             
Lovely Lady May

[Verse]
         Eb                          
Lord the wind can leave you shiverin'
      Ab               Eb    
As it waltzes o'er the leaves
          Cm                       
It's been rushin' through my timber
          Fm7                 Eb    
Til' your love brought on the spring
                          Eb      
Now the mountains all are blushin'
         Ab                 Eb 
And they don't know what to say
        Cm                Eb     
'cept a good long line of praises
                   Eb 
For my lovely Lady May


[Chorus]
    Cm7         Dm       Eb     
Now I ain't the toughest hickory
Eb                        
That your ax has ever felt
          Ab                  
But I'm a hickory just as well
      Cm                  
I'm a hickory all the same
Eb        Cm                         
■  I came crashin' through the forest
                    Eb  
As you cut my roots away
                  Eb       
And I fell a good long ways
Cm                    
For my lovely Lady May
