CHORUS
         C                          G
Oh, I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
         D                        G
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
      C                        G
I'll pawn you this heart in my bosom
           D                    G
If you'll say that you love me again


VERSE 1
        C                    G
Darling how can I stay here without you
        D                       G
I have nothing to cheer my poor heart
          C                        G
This old world would seem sad love without you
        D                      G
Tell me now that we never will part


(CHORUS)


VERSE 2
Take back all the gifts you have given
A diamond ring and a lock of your hair
An old frame with your picture inside it
It's a face that is false but it's fair
