Verse 1
I'm a [C]stone's throw from the mill
And I'm a [F]good walk to the [C]river
When my [F]workin' day is [C]over
We'll go [Am]swim our [G/B]cares [C]away
Put your [C]toes down in the water
And a [F]smile across your[C] face
And [F]tell me that you [C]love me
[Am]Lovely [G/B]Lady May[C]
Chorus 1
Now I [Am]ain't the [C/B]sharpest [C]chisel
That your [F]hands have ever held[C]
But [Am]darlin' I could [G/B]love you[C] well
'Til the [F]roll is called [C]on high
I've [Am]seen my [G/B]share of [C]trouble
And I've [F]held my weight in[C] shame
But I'm [F]baptized in your[C] name
[Am]Lovely [G/B]Lady May[C]

Verse 2
Lord the [C]wind can leave you shiverin'
As it [F]waltzes o'er the leaves[C]
It's been [Am]rushin' [G/B]through my [C]timber
'Til your [F]love brought on the [C]spring
Now the [C]mountains all are blushin'
And they [F]don't know what to say[C]
'Cept a [Am]good long [G/B]line of [C]praises
For my [F]lovely Lady May[C]
Chorus 2
Now I [Am]ain't the [G/B]toughest [C]hickory
That your [F]axe has ever felled[C]
But I'm a [F]hickory just as well[C]
I'm a [Am]hickory [G/B]all the same[C]
I came [Am]crashin' [G/B]through the [C]forest
As you [F]cut my roots [C]away
And I [F]fell a good long[C] ways
For my [Am]lovely [G/B]Lady May[C]
