Intro: D G D A 

         D                                          F#m/C#          G 
When I was small and Christmas trees were tall 
                                     D                       A7 
We used to love while others used to play 
         D                                         F#m/C#          G 
 Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by 
                                   D                    A7 
Someone else moved in from far away 
          G                                       D 
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small 
        Em            G                     D    D7 
And you don't ask the time of day 
        G                                    D 
But you and I, our love will never die 
        Em               G                            D   A7 
But guess who'll cry come First of May 
D                                            F#m/C#       G 
The apple tree that grew for you and me 
                                  D                     A7  
I watched the apples falling one by one 
       D                              F#m/C#      G 
And I recall the moment of them all 
                                      D              A7 
The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone 
          G                                       D 
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small 
            Em       G                      D    D7 
And you don't ask the time of day 
        G                                D 
But you and I, our love will never die 
         Em                  G                           D 
But guess who'll cry    come First of May
