Intro.: Dm / F / C / Dm / Bb / C / Dm
Dm C
When in the springtime of the year
Am Dm
When the trees are crowned with leaves
C
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Am Dm
Are dressed in ribbons fair
C
When owls call the breathless moon
Am Dm
In the blue veil of the night
C
The shadows of the trees appear
Am Dm
Amidst the lantern light
Dm C
We've been rambling all the night
Gsus2 Dm
And some time of this day
C
Now returning back again
G Dm Dm / Bb / C / Dm
We bring a garland gay
Dm C
Who will go down to those shady groves
Am Dm
And summon the shadows there
C
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
Am Dm
In the springtime of the year
C
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
Am Dm
That when the fiddler plays

C
All their voices can be heard
Am Dm
Long past their woodland days
Dm C
We've been rambling all the night
Gsus2 Dm
And some time of this day
C
Now returning back again
G Dm Dm / Bb / C / Dm (2x)
We bring a garland gay
Dm C
And so they linked their hands and danced
Am Dm
Round in circles and in rows
C
And so the journey of the night descends
Am Dm
When all the shades are gone
C
"A garland gay we bring you here
Am Dm
And at your door we stand
C
It is a sprout well budded out
Am Dm
The work of Our Lord's hand"
Dm C
We've been rambling all the night

And some time of this day
