Key: G

-1 -4 -3*  -4    4   -4  -3*  -3
Oh Gen-e-vieve, I'd give the world
-1  -3  3* -3  -4  -3 3 2   -1
To live a-gain the love-ly past!
-1   -4  -3*  -4  -5  -5  5*   5
The rose of youth was dew-im-pearled
 5  -4 -3*  -4  -1  -3  3    3
But now it with-ers in the blast.

3 -3  -4   4   2  -1  3   -4
I see thy face in ev-'ry dream,
3  -3  -4    -5      4   3   -3  -4  
My wak-ing thoughts are full of thee
-4    -4   -4 4  -4   -3  -4  2
Thy glance is in the star-ry beam
 -2*   3   3  -3   3  -2*  2  -4-5
That falls a-long the sum-mer sea.

-1 -4 -3* -4      4   -4 -3* -3
Oh Gen-e-vieve, sweet Gen-e-vieve,
-1   -3   3*  -3   -4  -3 3  2  -1
The days may come, the days may go
-1   -4   -3*  -4   -5 -5   5*   5
But still the hands of mem-'ry weave
 5   -4   -3*   -4   -1  -3  3  3
The bliss-ful dreams of long a-go
