G                            Bm   
I tried to save a girl I truly loved
                             Em ( E F# G A )
And didn't quite know how to help her
   G                                      Bm 
So now she's sleeping as her parents up above
                                Em ( E F# G A )
Cry over things that they can't tell her

    C                   
And when I did my good deed
              Bm            Em
I thought I'd feel unbroken gladness
    C                           
But standing in the street alone
  Bm                Em
I just felt sinking sadness

           C               G    
Girl, your dad will not us bless
        Bm               Em
So hang up your veil and dress
        C               G
Look at me and take one guess
           Bm               D
Where this best-intentioned love will lead us


And repeat this for the rest of the song.

Cheers!
