Social Distortion - Alone and Forsaken

Ok, so this is my first tab, but this is a pretty easy song, and I'm pretty confident 
that it's correct. It's basically the same as the Hank Williams tab but with a capo on 3.

Capo on 3rd Fret; all chords relative to the capo.

Intro (Palm Mute)
Am (x02210@1)Verse 1

AmWe (x02210@1)met in the springtime

when the blossoms unfold,

the pastures were green
        Em (022000@1)          Amand (x02210@1)the meadows were gold.

AmOur (x02210@1)love was in flower

as summer grew on.

Her love like the leaves
         Em (022000@1)          Amnow (x02210@1)have withered and gone.

Verse 2

AmThe (x02210@1)roses have faded

there's frost at my door.

The birds in the morning
      Em (022000@1)      Amdon't (x02210@1)sing anymore.

AmThe (x02210@1)grass in the valley

is starting to die,

and out in the darkness
    Em (022000@1)           Amthe (x02210@1)whippoorwills cry.



Chorus

FAlone (133211@1)and forsaken
   Cby (x32010@1)fate and by man.
   EmOh (022000@1)Lord if you hear me
       Amplease (x02210@1)hold to my hand,
   Em (022000@1)    Amoh (x02210@1)please understand.

Verse 3

AmOh (x02210@1)where has she gone to,

oh where can she be.

She may have forsaken
     Em (022000@1)        Amsome (x02210@1)other like me.

AmShe (x02210@1)promised to honor,

to love and obey.

Each vow was a plaything
     Em (022000@1)       Amthat (x02210@1)she threw away.



Chorus

FAlone (133211@1)and forsaken
   Cby (x32010@1)fate and by man.
   EmOh (022000@1)Lord if you hear me
       Amplease (x02210@1)hold to my hand,
   Em (022000@1)    Amoh (x02210@1)please understand.

Verse 4

AmThe (x02210@1)darkness has fallen,

the sky has turned gray,

the hound in the distance
   Em (022000@1)         Amis (x02210@1)starting to bay.

AmI (x02210@1)wonder, I wonder

what she's thinking of.

Forsaken, forgotten,
  Em (022000@1)       Amwithout (x02210@1)any love.



Chorus
