D                         G                         D                           A 
    We have met and we have parted, we have spoke our last goodbye, 
                      D                            G                         D     A                D 
    you have proved to me false hearted, you may now        forever go. 
                        D                                  G 
    You have wrecked the heart I’ve cherished, 
                      D                        A 
    you have done me day by day, 
                  D                     G                     D            A                  D 
    you are false but I’ll forgive you, to forget you          I cannot say. 

         G                        D                              G                        D 
For I love you, dear, I love you, more than all this world, I know, 
                   D                           G                         D     A                D 
you have proved to me false-hearted, you may now        forever go.

                 D                  G             D                              A 
    On the river bank I’ll loiter till I see your face once more, 
                   D                            G                  D     A                          D 
    then I’ll plunge beneath the water and I’ll land       on some far shore. 
          D                           G                           D                             A 
    Among the trees and bushes where the dark green willows wave, 
               D                     G                             D     A                     D 
    in the cold and silent rushes, there you’ll find        my lonely grave. 

            D                         G                          D                          A 
    O I wish I was white marble, cold and white on some far shore, 
                     D                                    G 
    this poor heart would cease from troubling, 
                  D     A                         D 
    and I’d feel          the pain no more.
