By Glen Pettifer

Verse 1.
  C               Em           F            C
The words of her promise, the flame of her faith,
     Am              F           C
the love that would never drift away,
C              G7                         C
where did they go lord, oh where did they go.

Verse 2.
C          Em           F         C
Somehow forever slipped out of my hands, 
        Am         F            C
and my dreams ran away with the wind,
C              G7                         C
Where did they go lord, oh where did they go.

Verse 3.
C                    F           C
You know sometimes i wish i had lost her to another,
                  F            C
but lord she just walked off alone,
                      F           C               Am
the heart thats within me isn't bitter, it's just empty,
       D7                           G7
and bewildered because her love has gone.

Verse 4.
     C         Em           F           C
The passion i trusted, the truth that i leaned on,
        Am           F             C 
and the hope that forever keep me strong,
                               F               D7
i cry out my questions all the answers are all gone,
           C                    G7             Am   
Where did they go lord, tell me where did they go,
F              C                G7             F-C
where did they go lord, tell me where did they go.
