[Verse]
Bm D
Moon rise and star fall
A F#m G
Fire burn and night wind call
Bm D
Drum beat the wild song
A F#m Bm A F#
That heart sings at summer's dawn
Bm D
Sown are the new fields
A F#m G
With bright seed of harvest's yield
Bm D
Far down the roots bind
A F#m Bm
The heart's joy to summer's time
[Bridge]
Em D
Leave the fire and come with me
F#m A G
We'll lie beneath the flowering tree
Em G
And feel the breathing of the earth
D A
Rise and fall
Em D
The green time sings its song again
F#m A G
To wake the hill, to wake the glen
Em G
And raise in every living thing
D Em
An answering call
[Verse]
Bm D
Leap o'er the May fire
A F#m G
Hold close your sweet desire
Bm D
For life's wheel will grant soon
A F#m Bm Em
The heart's wish for summer's bloom
Bm D
Green shoot and pale flower
A F#m G
Garland the Beltane bower
Bm D
Circle with joined hands
A F#m Bm
For heart shines with summer's dance
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Em D
Leave the fire and come with me
F#m A G
To walk beside the dreaming sea
Em G
And watch the fading of the stars
D A
As the new day dawns
Em D
We'll try to catch time in our hands
F#m A G
To hold the wave against the sand
Em G
And watch this glow upon the land
D Em
That soon will be gone
[Verse]
Bm D
So drum beat and flute sound
A F#m G
Once more we'll circle 'round
Bm D
For the world turns and the wheel spins
A F#m Bm
And all ends that once begins
Bm D
This green hour, the heart knows,
A F#m G
Is brief as the budding rose
Bm D
Though wheel turn and bloom fade
A Em A Bm
The heart sings the birth of May
[Instrumental]
