[Verse 1]
Am F G
I sowed the seeds of love
Am Em
I sowed them in the spring
F C/E Dm7
Gathered them up in the morning so clear
C G Am F
When the small birds so sweetly sing
C/D G C
When the small birds so sweetly sing
[Verse 2]
Am F G C G/B
The gardener was standing by
Am Em
I asked him to choose for me
F C/E Dm7
He chose for me the violet, the lily and the pink
C G Am F
But those I refused, all three
C/D G C
But those I refused, all three
[Instrumental]

C F C/E Dm7 C/D G C
[Verse 3]
Am F G C G/B
But the violet I did not like
Am Em
Because it bloomed so soon
F C/E Dm7
The lily and the pink, I really over-think
C G Am F
So I thought I would wait 'til June
C/D G C
So I thought I would wait 'til June
[Verse 4]
Am F G C G/B
In June there was a red rose bud
Am Em
That is the flower for me
F C/E Dm7
And often times I've plucked the red rose bud
C G Am F
'Til I gained the willow tree
C/D G C
'Til I gained the willow tree
[Instrumental]

C F C/E Dm7 C/D G C
[Verse 5]
Am F G
The willow tree will twist
Am Em
The willow tree will twine
F C/E Dm7
And often times I've wished I was in the young man's arms
C G Am F
Who once had the heart of mine
C/D G C F C
Who once had the heart of mine
[Verse 6]
Am F G
I sowed the seeds of love
Am Em
I sowed them in the spring
F C/E Dm7
Gathered them up in the morning so soon
C G Am F
When the small birds so sweetly sing
C/D G C
When the small birds so sweetly sing
