Bee Gees - The First of May

Verse:
     D4                          F#m5
7When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
   G6                  D7              A8
8We used to love while others used to play.
D9                              F#m10
9Don t ask me why, but time has passed us by,
G11                  D12            A13
10Someone else moved in from far away.

12Chorus:
    G14                          D15
13Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
    Em16                        D17  D718
14And you don t ask the time of day.
    G19                        D20
15But you and I, our love will never die,
    Em21          G22                 D23   A24
16But guess we ll cry come first of may.

    D25                        F#m26
19The apple tree that grew for you and me,
  G27                  D28              A29
20I watched the apples falling one by one.
D30                       F#m31
21And I recall the moment of them all,
    G32                 D33                  A34
22The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine.
23

    G35                          D36
25Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
    Em37                        D38  D739
26And you don t ask the time of day.
    G40                        D41
27But you and I, our love will never die,
    Em42          G43                 D44
28But guess we ll cry come first of may.
