C                  C7        F                   C 
Tonight I'm alone without you my dear, 
     Am                    D                     F     G 
Its seems there's a longing for you still. 
C                  C7    F                  C 
All I have to do is sit alone and cry, 
         Am           G                 C 
In our little cabin home on the hill. 
 

      F                  G              C 
Oh someone has taken you from me, 
        Am      D         F       G  
And left me here all alone. 
    C                 C7        F                         C 
Just listen to the rain beyond my window pane, 
          Am           G                 C 
In our little cabin home on the hill. 
 
 
(repeat the same chord pattern throughout the song) 
 
 
I hope you are happy tonight as you are, 
 
For in my heart there's a longing for you still. 
 
I'll just keep it there so I won't be alone, 
 
In our little cabin home on the hill. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
 
And when you have come to the end of your way, 
 
And find there's no more happpiness for you. 
 
Just let your thoughts turn back once more if you will, 
 
To our little cabin home on the hill. 
 
(Chorus optional)
