F        G                      C
still i wonder how you are,
                 Am                 F
and what became of all of this
            G                           C
did you cry when winter's hands
              Am                    F
stole you from that fertile grave?
                G                     C
did your mother hold you dear
                  Am                 F
to ease the burden of your pain?
