A          E        A                E
Down in the valley, the first of May
F#m        C#m          A             E
Gatherin' flowers, both fresh and gay
A             E        A             E
Gatherin' flowers, both red and blue
    F#m             C#m        A             E
I little thought of what, what love could do

[Chorus]
    A          E   A     E
Don't yooooou
          F#m    C#m    A       E
Break my heart
    A           E    A        E
Don't yooooou
          F#m    C#m   A       E
Break my heart

[Verse 2]
A        E        A              E
I put my hand in, into the bush
F#m         C#m                A              E
Findin' the sweetest, sweetest rose to pull
A            E            A              E
I pricked my finger, deep to the line
    F#m                 C#m          A              E
And left the sweetest rose, sweetest rose behind

[Chorus]
    A          E   A      E
Don't yooooou
          F#m    C#m   A       E
Break my heart
    A          E   A       E
Don't yooooou
          F#m    C#m   Asus2   E
Break my heart

[Break]
|A        |E     |A        |E  |
|F#m      |C#m   |A        |E  |
|A        |E     |A        |E  |
|F#m      |C#m   |A        |E  |

[Verse 3]
A           E              A              E
Saw a ship sailin', on the big blue sea
F#m           C#m              A              E
She sailed as deep as, deep as she could be
A          E           A              E
But not so deep in, in love as I am
  F#m              C#m     A              E
I care not whether I,    I sink or swim

[Chorus]
    A          E    A         E
Don't yooooou
          F#m    C#m    A       E
Break my heart
    A            E    A        E
Don't yooooou
          F#m     C#m     A         E
Break my heart

[Chorus]
    A            E    A        E
Don't yooooou
          F#m    C#m   A        E
Break my heart
    A            E     A         E
Don't yooooou
          F#m    C#m    A        E
break my heart

[Outro]
A              E             A              E
Thousands and thousands, all on this Earth
