April Was The Month

	  		

    G            C 
Was one night in Spring,  
     F            G 
with stars in the sky. 
       F                 C 
When a young girl called Molly, 
      A#          D 
put a gleam in my eye. 
    G             C 
Her hair was like raven, 
    F               G 
her smile, from the sun. 
G             F 
April was the month, 
    C       G 
our romance begun.

Each evening we'd meet, 
     F           G 
when working was through. 
     F           C 
We'd walk in the meadows, 
         A#          D 
where no others went to. 
G            C 
Laughing and talking, 
   F           G 
we had so much fun. 
G             F 
April was the month, 
        C       G 
that my romance begun.

    G          C 
One day when I met her, 
           F              G 
she said a wrong had been done. 
   F            C 
Oh Johnny, dear Johnny, 
       A#         D 
I'm to bear you a son. 
     G            C 
With tears in her eyes, 
   F              G 
no smile from the sun. 
G             F 
April was the month, 
      C       G 
Oh my romance begun.

    G                C 
The church bell rang out. 
             F         G 
The greatest day of my life. 
        F            C 
For the raven haired Molly, 
  A#          D 
I took for my wife. 
       G            C 
In the fall of that year, 
  F            G 
A baby she was born. 
G               F 
But Molly, dear Molly, 
      C             G 
never saw her young one.

    G             C 
The ground it was cold, 
       F             G 
as the wind blew all around. 
      F            C 
As my raven haired Molly, 
    A#          D 
was laid in the ground. 
    G            C 
Her daughter was waiting, 
        F         G 
for her mother to come.
