E7 Aadd9/C#
I was just a curly-haired
E7 Aadd9/C#
mountain boy
E7 F E7 F
On my way passing thru
A7 Dm A7 Dm
I heard a voice whisper good evening
A7 Dm
I turned to a shadow
E7
And saw her there
F E7 Aadd9/C#
So all alone
[Verse 2]
E7 Aadd9/C# E7 Aadd9/C#
She had those sad china eyes
E7 F E7 F
That sang each time she smiled
A7 Dm A7 Dm
Ah, but the song it seemed to linger
A7 Dm E7
So long it deepened my love for her
F E7 Aadd9/C#
Until she called me near
B E7
And then we waltzed to our heart beat
A7 Dm A7 Dm
All around the sea was swaying
A7
The breeze was praying
Dm E7 F
Never to leave her alone
E7
Alone
[Verse 3]
E7 Aadd9/C# E7 Aadd9/C#
Oh, the time just slipped on by
E7 F E7 F
And with the time so did our love
A7 Dm A7 Dm
Ah, her every move just like a fever
A7
Just like a fever
Dm E7 F E7
Burnin' inside would not leave me
