CAPO ON 2 FRET
Intro: Am
[Am]We met in the springtime
when the blossoms unfold,
the pastures were green
and the [E]meadows were [Am]gold.
[Am]Our love was in flower
as summer grew on.
Her love like the leaves
now have [E]withered and [Am]gone.
[Am]The roses have faded
there's frost at my door.
The birds in the morning
don't [E]sing anym[Am]ore.
[Am]The grass in the valley
is starting to die,
and out in the darkness
the [E]whippoorwills [Am]cry.
(Chorus:)
[F#]Alone and forsaken
by [C]fate and by man.
Oh [E]Lord if you hear me
please [Am]hold my hand,
oh [E]please [Am]understand.
[Am]Oh where has she gone to,
oh where can she be.
She may have forsaken
some [E]other like [Am]me.
[Am]She promised to honor,
to love and obey.
Each vow was a plaything
that [E]she threw [Am]away.
(Chorus:)
[F#]Alone and forsaken
by [C]fate and by man.
Oh [E]Lord if you hear me
please [Am]hold my hand,
oh [E]please [Am]understand.
[Am]The darkness has fallen,
the sky has turned gray,
the hound in the distance
is [E]starting to [Am]bay.
[Am]I wonder, I wonder
what she's thinking of.
Forsaken, forgotten,
wi[E]thout any [Am]love.
(Chorus:)
[F#]Alone and forsaken
by [C]fate and by man.
Oh [E]Lord if you hear me
please [Am]hold my hand,
oh [E]please [Am]understand.
(Chorus:)
[F#]Alone and forsaken
by [C]fate and by man.
Oh [E]Lord if you hear me
please [Am]hold my hand,
oh [E]please [Am]understand.
Outro: Am (let ring)
