BbBb7 These long lonely evenings
EbG7 here I am on the phone
CmF7Bb wondering when she will call
Bb7 she said she would write me
EbG7 'cause she knows I'm alone
CmC7F7 but I hear nothing at all
 
BbAmD7 I'm watiting for a word of love from sylvia
GmGm7FmBb7 You'd think she never heard of love my sylvia
EbF/EbDmG7 but when I'm with her Lord,i forgive her
Cm 'cause she's more than the whole world to me
F7BbAmD7 there's nothing like a word of love from sylvia
GmGm7FmBb7 The only one I'm thinking of is sylvia
Eb7 feeling so sad now I'll be so glad now
CmF7BbF#7 If I just had my sylvia with me
 
BB7 That old weeping willow
EG#7 seems to whisper her name
C#mF#7B why did she go away
B7 the tears on my pillow
