Am
We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
                                E           Am          
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
    Am
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
                              E           Am           
Her love like the leaves has withered and gone.


    Am
The roses have faded there's frost at my door
                                E      Am            
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
    Am
The grass in the valley is started to die
                            E            Am      
And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry.



F                     C
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
                              Am
Oh lord if you hear me please hold to my hand
   E          Am
Oh please understand.


 Am
Where has she gone to oh where can she be
                           E         Am
She may have forsaken some other like me
    Am
She promised to honor to love and obey
                               E         Am
Each vow was a play thing that she threw away.


    Am
The darkness is falling the sky has turned gray
                           E          Am
A hound in the distance is starting to bey
Am
I wonder i wonder  what she's thinking of
                       E       Am
Forsaken forgotten without any love.


F                     C
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
                              Am
Oh lord if you hear me please hold to my hand
   E          Am
Oh please understand.

   E          Am
Oh please understand.
