Chord reference Am, E7, C, G

Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

We [Am]met in the springtime when blossoms unfold The pastures were green and the [E7]meadows were [Am]gold [Am]Our love was in flower as summer grew on Her love like the leaves now has [E7]withered and [Am]gone

The [Am]roses have faded, there’s frost at my door The birds in the morning don’t [E7]sing any[Am]more [Am]The grass in the valley is starting to die And out in the darkness the [E7]whippoorwills [Am]cry

A[F]lone and forsaken by [C]fate and by man Oh, Lord, if You [G]hear me please [Am]hold to my hand Oh, [E7]please under[Am]stand

Oh, [Am]where has she gone to, oh, where can she be She may have forsaken some [E7]other like [Am]me [Am]She promised to honor, to love and obey Each vow was a plaything that [E7]she threw a[Am]way

The [Am]darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray A hound in the distance is [E7]starting to [Am]bay [Am]I wonder, I wonder what she’s thinking of Forsaken, forgotten with[E7]out any [Am]love

A[F]lone and forsaken by [C]fate and by man Oh, Lord, if You [G]hear me please [Am]hold to my hand Oh, [E7]please under[Am]stand
