Here’s a better attempt at the chord spacing:

         C               G       C         C    >      Am       G
In the springtime of the year, I loved and lost my dear,
      C      >       Am                Dm             G          C            G          F C
For love grows wild when the weather it is mild, as you shall quickly hear.

          C                   G                Am      F          G
Sweet thyme, sweet thyme, the parsley and the thyme,
       C    >   Am            Dm    G    C               G          F C
The rosemary and the willow tree around my heart entwine.
