[Dm] [F] [C] [Dm] [Bb] [C] [Dm] [Dm]
[Dm] [F] [C] [Dm] [Bb] [C] [G] [G]
[Dm] When in the springtime [C] of the year
When the [Am] trees are crowned with [G] leaves
[D] When the ash and oak, and the [C] birch and yew
Are [Am] dressed in ribbons [D] fair
[Dm] When owls call the [C] breathless moon
In the [Am] blue veil of the [G] night
The [Dm] shadows of the [C] trees appear
A-[Am]midst the lantern [D] light
{soc}
[Dm] We've been [D] rambling [C] all the night
And [G] some time of this [D] day
[D] Now returning [C] back again
We [G] bring a garland [D] gay
{eoc}
[C] [Bb]/ [C]/ [Dm]/ [D]/ [D] x2
[Dm] Who will go [D] down to those [C] shady groves
And [Am] summon the shadows [G] there
[Dm] And tie a [D] ribbon on those [C] sheltering arms
In the [Am] springtime of the [D] year
[Dm] The songs of [D] birds seem to [C] fill the wood
That [Am] when the fiddler [G] plays
[Dm] All their [D] voices [C] can be heard
Long [Am] past their woodland [D] days
{soc}
[Dm] We've been [D] rambling [C] all the night
And [G] some time of this [D] day
[D] Now returning [C] back again
We [G] bring a garland [D] gay
{eoc}

[Dm]/ [D]/ [F] [C] [Dm]/ [D] [Bb] [C] [G] [G]
[Dm] And so they linked their [C] hands and danced
[Am] Round in circles and in [G] rows
[Dm] And so the journey of the [C] night descends
When [Am] all the shades are [D] gone
[Dm] "A garland gay we [C] bring you here
[Am] And at your door we [G] stand
[Dm] It is a sprout well [C] budded out
The [Am] work of Our Lord's [D] hand"
{soc}
[Dm] We've been [D] rambling [C] all the night
And [G] some time of this [D] day
[D] Now returning [C] back again
We [G] bring a garland [D] gay
[D] We've been rambling [C] all the night
And [G] some time of this [D] day
[D] Now returning [C] back again
We [G] bring a garland [Dm] ga-[D] ay
{eoc}
