[Intro] (x2)
D/G G D/G G D/G Bm C#/C D/G
[Verse]
D
I'm a stone's throw from the mill
G D/G
And I'm a good walk to the river
G D/G
When my workin' day is over
Bm C#/C D/G
We'll go swim our cares away
D/G
Put your toes down in the water
G D/G
And a smile across your face
G D/G
And tell me that you love me
Bm C#/C D/G
Lovely Lady may
[Chorus]
Bm C#/C D/G
Now I ain't the sharpest chisel
G D/G
That your hands have ever held
Bm C#/C D/G
But darlin' I could love you well
G D/G
Til' the roll is called on high
Bm C#/C D/G
I've seen my share of trouble
G D/G
And I've held my weight in shame
Bm C#/C D/G
But I'm baptized in your name
G D/G
Lovely Lady may
[Break] (x2)
D/G G D/G G D/G Bm C#/C D/G
[Verse]
D
Lord the wind can leave you shiverin'
G D/G
As it waltzes o'er the leaves
Bm C#/C D/G
It's been rushin' through my timber
G D/G
Til' your love brought on the spring
D/G
Now the mountains all are blushin'
G D/G
And they don't know what to say
Bm C#/C D/G
'Cept a good long line of praises
G D/G
For my lovely Lady may
[Chorus]
Bm C#/C D
Now I ain't the toughest hickory
G D/G
That your ax has ever felled
G D/G
But I'm a hickory just as well
Bm C#/C D
I'm a hickory all the same
Bm C#/C D
I came crashin' through the forest
G D/G
As you cut my roots away
Bm C#/C D/G
And I fell a good long ways
G D/G
For my lovely Lady may
[Outro]
D/G G D/G G D/G Bm C#/C D/G
