The May Morning Dew Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
How [G]pleas[D]ant in winter to [G]sit by the hob
Just listening to the barks
[D]An d [G]the howls of the dog
Or to walk through the green field[F]s
[G]Where wild daisies [C]grew
[G]To pluck the wil[D]d flowers
In [G]the [Bb]May m[G]orning dew
When summer [D]is [G]com[D]ing

[Verse 2]
when [G]summer is near
With the trees oh so green
And the sky bright and clear
And the wee birds all singing
[F]Their loved [G]ones to [C]woo
[G]And young flowers a[D]ll springing
In the [G]May [Bb]morni[G]ng dew
I remem[D]ber the [G]old [D]folk
[G]All now dead and gone
And likewise my two broth[D]ers
[G]Young Dennis and John
How we ran o'er the heather
[F]The wil[G]d hare to pursue[C]
[G]And the proud [D]deer [G]we [D]hunted
In [G]the [F]May [Bb]morni[G]ng dew

[Verse 3]
[G]Of the house I was born [D]in
There's [G]but a stone on the stone
And now all 'round the [D]garden
[G]Wild thistles have grown
And gone are the neigh[F]bours
[G]that I once kne[C]w[G]
[D]No [G]more [D]will [C]we [F]wander[D]
Through [G]the [Bb]May [G]morn[F] ing[G] dew
