[Verse]
Am                  C/B  C
She came from her palace grand
C                      G
She came to my cottage door
Am                     C/B C
Her words were few but her looks
C                   G C G C G
Will linger for evermore
Am                  C/B  C
The look in her sad dark eyes
C                            G
More tender than words could be.
 
[Chorus]
Dm                      C    Am C/B C
Oh but I was nothing to her
C                        G C G C G
And she was the world to me.

G

[Verse]
Am                    C/B C
And now in her garden she stands
C                             G
All dressed in fine satin and lace
Am              C/B    C     
My lady so cold and so strange
C                         G C G C G
Who finds in her heart no place.
Am                      C/B C
And I knew she would be my bride
C                          G
With a kiss for a lifetime fee.

[Chorus]
Dm                      C    Am C/B C
Oh but I was nothing to her
C                        G C G C G
And she was the world to me.

G

[Verse]
Am           C/B  C
Now in her palace grand
C                           G
On a flower covered bed she lies
Am                 C/B C
Her beautiful lids are closed
C                 G C G C G
Over her sad dark eyes.
Am                     C/B C
And among the mourners who mourn
C                      G
Why should I a mourner be.

[Chorus]
Dm                    C    Am C/B C
When I was nothing to her
C                        G C G C G
And she was the world to me.

G

[Verse]
Am                      C/B C
And how will it be with our souls
C                           G
When we meet in that spirit land
Am                   C/B   C
What the human heart never knows
C             G C G C G
Will a spirit understand
Am              C/B  C
Or in some celestial form
C                         G
Will our sorrows repeated be

[Chorus]
Dm                         C    Am C/B C
Will I still be nothing to her
C                        G C G C G
And she was the world to me..
