CAPO ON 2 FRET
Intro: Am
Am
We met in the springtime
when the blossoms unfold,
the pastures were green
E Am
and the meadows were gold.
Am
Our love was in flower
as summer grew on.
Her love like the leaves
E Am
now have withered and gone.
Am
The roses have faded
there's frost at my door.
The birds in the morning
E Am
don't sing anymore.
Am
The grass in the valley
is starting to die,
and out in the darkness
E Am
the whippoorwills cry.

[Chorus:]
F#
Alone and forsaken
C
by fate and by man.
E
Oh Lord if you hear me
Am
please hold my hand,
E Am
oh please understand.
Am
Oh where has she gone to,
oh where can she be.
She may have forsaken
E Am
some other like me.
Am
She promised to honor,
to love and obey.
Each vow was a plaything
E Am
that she threw away.
[Chorus:]
F#
Alone and forsaken
C
by fate and by man.
E
Oh Lord if you hear me
Am
please hold my hand,
E Am
oh please understand.
Am
The darkness has fallen,
the sky has turned gray,
the hound in the distance
E Am
is starting to bay.
Am
I wonder, I wonder
what she's thinking of.
Forsaken, forgotten,
E Am
without any love.
[Chorus:]
F#
Alone and forsaken
C
by fate and by man.
E
Oh Lord if you hear me
Am
please hold my hand,
E Am
oh please understand.
[Chorus:]
F#
Alone and forsaken
C
by fate and by man.
E
Oh Lord if you hear me
Am
please hold my hand,
E Am
oh please understand.
Outro: Am (let ring)
