Song:

 

-4 -4  -4  5   -5   5     -4  -6  -8   -8 -8

We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold 

-8   -8  -6  -6    -6    6   -6  -5 -4   -4   -4

The pastures were green and the meadows were gold 

-4   -4  -4  5  -5 5   -4 -6 -8  -8  -8

Our love was in flower as summer grew on

-8  -8   -6   -6   -6     6  -6  -5 -4    -4  -4

Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone 

 

-4  -4 -4  5   -5 5   -4       -6   -8 -8 -8

The roses have faded, there’s frost at my door 

-8  -8    -6  -6  -6 6     -6   -5   -4-4-4

The birds in the morning don’t sing anymore

-4   -4   -4  5  -5 5   -4  -6 -8   -8 -8 

The grass in the valley is starting to die

-8  -8  -6  -6  -6 6    -6   -5 -4  -4    -4

And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry

 

-8 -8 -8  -8 -8 -8 -8  -8   7   7  7

Alone and forsaken by fate and by man

 7    7   -6  -6  -6  6   -5     -5  -4 -4  -4

Oh. Lord, if you hear me please hold to my hand

-5    -5   -3’’-4’ -4

Oh, please understand 

 

Repeat from top

Oh, where has she gone to, oh, where can she be

She may have forsaken some other like me 

She promised to honor, to love and obey

Each vow was a plaything that she threw away 

 

The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray

A hound in the distance is starting to “bay”

I wonder, I wonder- what she’s thinking of

Forsaken, forgotten – without any love

  

Alone and forsaken by fate and by man

Oh, lord, if you hear me please hold to my hand

Oh, please understand
