(intro) Am 

Am 
We met in the springtime 
when the blossoms unfold, 
the pastures were green 
        E            Am 
and the meadows were gold. 

Am 
Our love was in flower 
as summer grew on. 
Her love like the leaves 
         E            Am 
now have withered and gone. 

Am 
The roses have faded 
there's frost at my door. 
The birds in the morning 
      E        Am 
don't sing anymore. 

Am 
The grass in the valley 
is starting to die, 
and out in the darkness 
    E             Am 
the whippoorwills cry. 

F# 
Alone and forsaken 
   C 
by fate and by man. 
   E 
Oh Lord if you hear me 
       Am 
please hold my hand, 
   E      Am 
oh please understand.
 

Am 
Oh where has she gone to, 
oh where can she be. 
She may have forsaken 
     E          Am 
some other like me. 

Am 
She promised to honor, 
to love and obey. 
Each vow was a plaything 
     E         Am 
that she threw away.

F# 
Alone and forsaken 
   C 
by fate and by man. 
   E 
Oh Lord if you hear me 
       Am 
please hold my hand, 
   E      Am 
oh please understand. 

Am 
The darkness has fallen, 
the sky has turned gray, 
the hound in the distance 
   E           Am 
is starting to bay. 

Am 
I wonder, I wonder 
what she's thinking of. 
Forsaken, forgotten, 
  E         Am 
without any love. 

(Refrão) 
F# 
Alone and forsaken 
   C

   E 
Oh Lord if you hear me 
       Am 
please hold my hand, 
   E      Am 
oh please understand.

   E 
Oh Lord if you hear me 
       Am 
please hold my hand, 
   E      Am 
oh please understand.
