Bbm 
We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold 
                  Ab                         Bbm 
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold 
     
Our love was in flower as summer grew on 
                   Ab                    Bbm    
Her love like some news has withered and gone 

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


F#                    Db           Bbm 
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man 
                        Ab            Bbm 
Oh Lord if you hear me please hold my hand 
 Ab       Bbm   
Please understand 


Bbm    
Oh where has she gone to oh where can she be? 
              Ab                      Bbm 
She may have forsaken some other like me 
    
She promised to honour to love and obey 
                Ab                       Bbm 
Each vow was a play thing that she threw away 

Bbm   
The darkness is falling the sky has turned grey 
                Ab                     Bbm 
A hound in the distance is starting to bay 

I wonder I wonder what she's thinking of 
          Ab                    Bbm 
Forsaken forgotten without any love 


F#                    Db           Bbm 
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man 
                        Ab            Bbm 
Oh Lord if you hear me please hold my hand 
 Ab      Bbm   
Please understand 
 Ab         Bbm 
Oh please understand
