Pick Am bass and alt for a couple bars(Intro)
Am G
When in the springtime of the year
Em Am
When the trees are crowned with leaves
Am G
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Em Am
Are dressed in ribbons fair
Am G
When owls call the breathless moon
Em Am
In the blue veil of the night
Am G
The shadows of the trees appear
Em Am
Amidst the lantern light
(CHORUS)
Am G
We've been rambling all the night
Em Am
And some time of this day
Am G
Now returning back again
Em Am
We bring a garland gay
Verse 2
Am G
Who will go down to those shady groves
Em Am
And summon the shadows there
Am G
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
Em Am
In the springtime of the year
Am G
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
Em Am
That when the fiddler plays
Am G
All their voices can be heard
Em Am
Long past their woodland days
(Repeat CHORUS)
Verse 3
Am G
And so they linked their hands and danced
Em Am
Round in circles and in rows
Am G
And so the journey of the night descends
Em Am
When all the shades are gone
Am G
"A garland gay we bring you here
Em Am
And at your door we stand
Am G
It is a sprout well budded out
Em Am
The work of Our Lord's hand"
Repeat CHORUS x2 Am, G, Em, Am to fade
Am G
When in the springtime of the year
Em Am
When the trees are crowned with leaves
Am G
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Em Am
Are dressed in ribbons fair
Am G
When owls call the breathless moon
Em Am
In the blue veil of the night
Am G
The shadows of the trees appear
Em Am
Amidst the lantern light
(CHORUS)
Am G
We've been rambling all the night
Em Am
And some time of this day
Am G
Now returning back again
Em Am
We bring a garland gay
Verse 2
Am G
Who will go down to those shady groves
Em Am
And summon the shadows there
Am G
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
Em Am
In the springtime of the year

Em Am
That when the fiddler plays

All their voices can be heard

Long past their woodland days
