Forsaken Love

   


              A                                         D 
    They stood in the moonlight near by the gate, 
             E                                     A 
    , my darling, I know you'll wait." 
                                                                 D 
    She ceased her weeping and smiled through her tears, 
                 E                                             A 
    saying," I've been true love through these long years." 

           A                                  D 
    For on tomorrow at the break of day, 
          E                            A 
    he was to journey far far away. 
                                             D 
    He held her closer his promised bride, 
          E                                     A 
    and to her questions these words replied. 

       A                                         D 
've loved you always, yes, I've been true, 
       E                                      A 
My heart shall never be loveless for you. 
                                          D 
O darling believe me, far over the sea, 
              E                                       A 
through life or death, so faithful I'll be. 

            A                                            D 
    One year passed by, he's coming home, 
           E                                  A 
    his pilgrimage over, no longer to roam. 
                                                    D 
    And smiling, he thinks of her shining eyes, 
      E                                       A 
    shining with welcome, a glad surprise. 

          A                                        D 
    A dainty letter he takes from his breast, 
          E                                            D 
    And reading once more by the warming light, 
                 E                                                A 
    these words he had spoken to her that night. 

        A                                      D 
've loved you always, yes, I've been true, 
        E                                     A 
My heart shall never be loveless for you. 
                                           D 
O darling believe me, far over the sea, 
         E                                  A 
through life or death, so faithful I'll be. 

             A                                     D 
    Once more he seeks the old garden gate, 
                E                          A 
    but he arrives alas, alas it's too late. 
                                              D 
    The wedding is over, the knot is tied, 
         E                               A 
    he finds his darling another's bride. 

           A                                        D 
    And later they found him there on the grass, 
       E                                 A 
    a pistol nearby tells what had passed. 
                                                   D 
    A crumpled letter that explained the deed, 
         E                                              A 
    and in the pale moonlight these words did read. 

       A                                        D 
've loved you always, yes, I've been true, 
        E                                     A 
My heart shall never be loveless for you. 
                                           D 
O darling believe me, far over the sea, 
            E                              A 
through life or death, so faithful I'll be.
