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

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

[Verse 5]
The willow [Am]tree will [F]twist[G]
The [Am]willow tree will [Em]twine
And [F]often times I've wished I was in the [C/E]young man's [Dm7]arms
Who [C]once had the [G]heart of [Am]mine[F]
Who [C/D]once had the [G]heart of [C]mine[F][C]
