  			   G      D  G              A 
I want to go where will you be 
G            D              Em          A 
So I'll stay home letting my hair grow long 
G          D              A 
And I will be waiting for you 
           D     G         D               Em D 
A     fire burns summer is gone winter is  sorrow 
    G          D    G          A 
And time don't mean nothing to me 
G             D              Em     A 
When only the owls listen to hear my song 
    G      D             Em   A 
And I will be walking in dew 
D             G           A 
And I will be waiting for you 
E           A    E        A        D 
Some people say love goes away not mine 
D              G        D            Em  D 
A rose's red   for my cheeks I will borrow 
    G          D    G          A 
And fine   old lace for you to see 
G         D                  Em       A 
A sash of blue tells me your love is strong 
G              D             Em   A 
Each spring my life starting anew 
D             G            A      D 
And I will be waiting for you
