One Morning In May
(Public Domain, arr. James Taylor )

One morning, one morning, one morning in May [ A G D A ]
I spied a young couple, they were making their way [ A G D E ]
One was a maiden, so bright and so fair [ A F#m D A ]
and the other was a soldier and a brave volunteer [ A D E A ]

"Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning," said he [ A G D A ]
"And where are you going, My pretty lady?" [ A G D E ]
"I'm going out a-walking on the banks of the sea [ A F#m D A ]
Just to see the waters rise and hear the Nightingale sing." [ A D E A ]

Now they had not been standing but a minute or two [ A G D A ]
When out of his knapsack a fiddle he drew [ A G D E ]
And the tune that he played made the valleys all ring [ A F#m D A ]
"O hark," cried the maiden, "hear the Nightingale sing." [ A D E A ]

"O maiden, fair maiden, it's time to give o'er." [ A G D A ]
"O no, kind soldier, please play one tune more [ A G D E ]
For I'd rather hear your fiddle at the touch of one string [ A F#m D A ]
Than to see the waters rise and hear the Nightingale sing." [ A D E A ]

"O soldier, kind soldier, will you marry me?" [ A G D A ]
"O no, pretty maiden, that never shall be; [ A G D E ]
I've a wife now in London and children twice three [ A F#m D A ]
Two wives and the army's too many for me." [ A D E A ]

"Well, I'll go back to London and I'll stay there for a year [ A G D A ]
It's often that I'll think of you, my little dear [ A G D E ]
And if ever I return, it will be in the spring [ A F#m D A ]
Just to see the waters rise and hear the Nightingale sing [ A D E A ]
To see the waters rise and hear the Nightingale sing." [ A D E A ]

James Taylor Our Town
Long ago, but not so very long ago The world was different, oh yes it was You settled down and you built a town and made it live And you watched it grow It was your town Time goes by, time brings changes, you change, too Nothing comes that you can't handle, so on you go Never see it coming, the world caves in on you On your town Nothing you can do. Main street isn't main street anymore Lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before Tell the truth, lights don't shine at all In our town ...
