First of May (Listen to midi) (Listen to sample)

C - F - C - G

C Em

1. When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,

F C G

we used to love, while others used to play.

C Em

Don't ask me why, the time has passed us by,

F C G

someone else moved in from far away.

F C

Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small,

G7 C - C7

and you don't ask the time of day.

F C

But you and I, our love will never die,

G C - G

guess who'll cry come first of May.

2. The apple tree that grew for you and me,

F C G

I watched the apples falling one by one.

C Em

And I recall the moment of them all,

F C G

the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.
