(intro) Am

Am
We met in the springtime
when the blossoms unfold,
the pastures were green
        E            Am
and the meadows were gold.

Am
Our love was in flower
as summer grew on.
Her love like the leaves
         E            Am
now have withered and gone.

Am
The roses have faded
there's frost at my door.
The birds in the morning
      E        Am
don't sing anymore.

Am
The grass in the valley
is starting to die,
and out in the darkness
    E             Am
the whippoorwills cry.

F#
Alone and forsaken
   C
by fate and by man.
   E
Oh Lord if you hear me
       Am
please hold my hand,
   E      Am
oh please understand.

Am
Oh where has she gone to,
oh where can she be.
She may have forsaken
     E          Am
some other like me.

Am
She promised to honor,
to love and obey.
Each vow was a plaything
     E         Am
that she threw away.

F#
Alone and forsaken
   C
by fate and by man.
   E
Oh Lord if you hear me
       Am
please hold my hand,
   E      Am
oh please understand.

Am
The darkness has fallen,
the sky has turned gray,
the hound in the distance
   E           Am
is starting to bay.

Am
I wonder, I wonder
what she's thinking of.
Forsaken, forgotten,
  E         Am
without any love.

Alone and forsaken

Oh Lord if you hear me
       Am
please hold my hand,
   E      Am
oh please understand.

Oh Lord if you hear me
