Alone And Forsaken
View chords used in this chart
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
