Pa-dre, pa-dre 
8  8   -7* -7* 7*  -5 -5*
In my grief I turn to you 
-3* -5*  -5* -5 -5* -6     7    7  -6*  7
The day that we wed you blessed us and said 
  7* -7* -7* -7  -7*  8    7*
"May heav-en be-stow you grace" 
  7*  7*   7  7* -7*  7
There in that ho-ly place 
-6   -6    6   -6   7   -5*
We shared our first em-brace
-3* -5*  -5* -5   -5*  -6    7   7 -6*   7
Our cot-tage was small but rich-er than all 
 7* -7*-7* -7 -7* 8  7*
The pal-a-ces of  a king 
 7*  7*  7    7*   -7*   7
All day the birds would sing 
-6    -6     6   -6  7    -5*
Our hearts were full of Spring 

7  -7*  7*  8
Pa-dre, pa-dre, 
-7*  -7*  -7*  8  -7*  -9  -7*  7
what hap-pened to our love so true? 
7  -7*  7*  8    
Pa-dre, pa-dre, 
8  8   -7* -7* 7*  -5 -5*
in my grief I turn to you 

-3*  -5* -5* -5  -5* -6    7   7  -6*   7
Then she came a-long and sang him her song 
 7* -7* -7*  -7  -7*  8    7*
And won him with hon-eyed lies 
 7* 7*  7   7* -7*   7 
She of the gold-en eyes 
-6   -6  6    -6   7    -5*
Now it's my heart that cries 
-3* -5* -5* -5  -5*  -6    7  -6* 7
So  I kneel and pray the hours a-way 
 7* -7*-7* -7  -7*   8   7*
And wea-ry my heart has grown 
 7*    7*    7    7*  -7*   7
Wond-'ring where love has flown 
 -6   -6  6    -6  7  -5*
Count-ing my tears a-lone 
7  -7*  7*  8
Pa-dre, pa-dre, 
  -7*  -7* -7*  8   -7*   -9   -7* 7
Please tell me how such things can be? 
7  -7*  7*  8    -7* -7* -7*  8  -9 -9*
Pa-dre, pa-dre, Pray for my love and me
