Capo 3

Same old deal use 1st position and experiment with pulling off & hammering on with the middle finger

C//// F// C// F// C// Am walk to C

I'm a stone's throw from the mill
And I'm a good walk to the river
When my workin' day is over
We'll go swim our cares away

Put your toes down in the water
And a smile across your face
And tell me that you love me
Lovely Lady May

 Am walk to C// F// C// Am walk to C//  F// C//

Now I ain't the sharpest chisel
That your hands have ever held
But darlin' I could love you well
Til' the roll is called on high

I've seen my share of trouble
And I've held my weight in shame
But I'm baptized in your name
Lovely Lady May

Interlude with intro chords

C//// F// C// F// C/// Am walk to C

Lord the wind can leave you shiverin'
As it waltzes or it leaves
It's been rushin' through my timber
Til' your love brought on the spring

Now the mountains all are blushin'
And they don't know what to say
'Cept a good long line of praises
For my lovely Lady May

Am walk to C// F// C// Am walk to C//  F// C//

Now I ain't the toughest hickory
That your ax has ever felled
But I'm a hickory just as well
I'm a hickory all the same

I came crashin' through the forest
As you cut my roots away
And I fell a good long ways
For my lovely Lady May
