  			G                         C 
The years creep slowly by Lorena 
  
D7                   G 
Snow is on the grass again 

                       C 
The sun is sinking low Lorena  

D7                              G 
Frost is where the flowers have been 


                        C 
The music's sad and low Lorena  

D7                         G 
Happy sounds have left the day 

                           C 
The banjo's softly playing Lorena  

D7                               G 
Where once they rang so loud and gay 


                       C 
I hardly feel the cold Lorena 
  
D7                             G 
I pray this darkness soon will pass 

                             C 
We'll sing those songs again Lorena  

D7                      G 
You'll be in my arms at last
