Lover's Farewell

D G D A We have met and we have parted, we have spoke our last goodbye, D G D A D you have proved to me false hearted, you may now forever go. D G You have wrecked the heart I’ve cherished, D A you have done me day by day, D G D A D you are false but I’ll forgive you, to forget you I cannot say. G D G D For I love you, dear, I love you, more than all this world, I know, D G D A D you have proved to me false-hearted, you may now forever go. ( D G D A D G D A D ) D G D A On the river bank I’ll loiter till I see your face once more, D G D A D then I’ll plunge beneath the water and I’ll land on some far shore. D G D A Among the trees and bushes where the dark green willows wave, D G D A D in the cold and silent rushes, there you’ll find my lonely grave. D G D A O I wish I was white marble, cold and white on some far shore, D G this poor heart would cease from troubling, D A D and I’d feel the pain no more.
