   Am 
We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold 
                                E           Am           
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold 
    Am 
Our love was in flower as summer grew on 
                              E           Am            
Her love like the leaves has withered and gone. 


    Am 
The roses have faded there's frost at my door 
                                E      Am             
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore 
    Am 
The grass in the valley is started to die 
                            E            Am       
And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry. 



F                     C 
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man 
                              Am 
Oh lord if you hear me please hold to my hand 
   E          Am 
Oh please understand. 


 Am 
Where has she gone to oh where can she be 
                           E         Am 
She may have forsaken some other like me 
    Am 
She promised to honor to love and obey 
                               E         Am 
Each vow was a play thing that she threw away. 


    Am 
The darkness is falling the sky has turned gray 
                           E          Am 
A hound in the distance is starting to bey 
Am 
I wonder i wonder  what she's thinking of 
                       E       Am 
Forsaken forgotten without any love. 


F                     C 
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man 
                              Am 
Oh lord if you hear me please hold to my hand 
   E          Am 
Oh please understand. 

   E          Am 
Oh please understand.
