[D] When in the [C] springtime of the year, when [Am] the trees are crowned with [G] leaves,
When [D] the ashen dog and [C] the birch and you [Am] are dressed in ribbons [D] fair,
[Dm] When now is called the [C] breathless moon, in [Am] the blue veil of the [G] night,
The [Dm] shadows of the [C] trees appear [Am] amidst the lantern [A] light,
[D] [C]
[G] Some time of [D] this day, no return,

[G] [D]
[C] [Bb] [C]
[D]
Who will go down to [C] the shady groves, [Am] summon the shadows [D] there,
And tie a ribbon on [C] the sheltering arms, in [Am] the springtime of [Dm] the year,
Songs of birds [C] seem to fill the wood, [Am] and when the fiddler [G] plays,
[D] All their voices [C] can be heard, [Am] long past their woodland [D] days,
We've been round [C]
[G] some time of this, [D]
no return,
[C]
[G] They bring a [D]
[C] [Bb] [C]
[Dm] gong,
[C] [Bb] [C]
[Dm]
And so they linked their [C] hands and danced, [Am] round in circles and [D] in rows,
[Dm] And so the journey [C] of the night descends, [Am] when all the shades [Dm] are gone,
[D] A garland [Dm] gave, [C]
[A] and at your door [G] we stand,
[D] It is a sprout, [C] well budded out, [Am] the work of our [D] Lord's hand,
We've been round [C]
[D] some time of this day, no return,
[C]
[G] We bring a garland, [D]
[C]
[G] we bring a garland [D] again,
We've been round [C]
