We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
                  Ab                         Bbm
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
    
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
                   Ab                    Bbm   
Her love like some news has withered and gone

Bbm    
The roses have faded there's frost at my door
                 Ab                  Bbm                     
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
   
The grass in the valley is starting to die
                Ab                        Bbm
And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry.


F#                    Db           Bbm
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
                        Ab            Bbm
Oh Lord if you hear me please hold my hand
 Ab       Bbm  
Please understand


Bbm   
Oh where has she gone to oh where can she be?
              Ab                      Bbm
She may have forsaken some other like me
   
She promised to honour to love and obey
                Ab                       Bbm
Each vow was a play thing that she threw away

Bbm  
The darkness is falling the sky has turned grey
                Ab                     Bbm
A hound in the distance is starting to bay

I wonder I wonder what she's thinking of
          Ab                    Bbm
Forsaken forgotten without any love


F#                    Db           Bbm
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
                        Ab            Bbm
Oh Lord if you hear me please hold my hand
 Ab      Bbm  
Please understand
 Ab         Bbm
Oh please understand
