[Verse]
      Eb                         
I'm a stone's throw from the mill
          Ab               Eb   
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
                   Eb       
And a smile across your face
                     Eb     
And tell me that you love me
Cm          Eb 
Lovely Lady May
    Cm                         
Now I ain't the sharpest chisel
          Ab              Eb  
That your hands have ever held
    Cm                            Eb
But darlin' I could love you well ■ 
                        Eb     
Til' the roll is called on high
     Cm      Dm       Eb     
I've seen my share of trouble
         Eb                     
And I've held my weight in shame
        Cm          Eb       
But I'm baptized in your name
Ab             
Lovely Lady May

[Verse]
         Eb                          
Lord the wind can leave you shiverin'
      Ab            Eb    
As it waltzes or it leaves
          Cm                 Cm7   
It's been rushin' through my timber
          Ab                         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
       Ab          Eb 
For my lovely Lady May


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