Am We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
EmAm The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
Am Our love was in flower as summer grew on
EmAm Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone.
Am The roses have faded theres frost at my door
EmAm The birds in the morning dont sing anymore
Am The grass in the valley is starting to die
EmAm And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry.
FC Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Am Oh Lord if You hear me please hold to my hand
EmAm Oh please understand.
Am Oh where has she gone to oh where can she be
EmAm She may have forsaken some other like me
Am She promised to honor to love and obey
EmAm Each vow was a play thing that she threw away.
Am The darkness is falling the sky has turned gray
EmAm A hound in the distance is starting to bey
Am I wonder I wonder what she's thinking of
EmAm Forsaken forgotten without any love.
