#1.

I know a ^Emman..he came from ^Gmy home town. He wore his ^Empassion for his ^Dwoman like a ^Cthorny crown. He said, Dol...^Gores, I live in ^Emfear. My love for ^Gyou's so over^Dpowering, I'm a^Cfraid that I ^Dwill dis^Gappear.

I know a ^Emfath..^Der, who had a ^Gson. He longed to ^Ctell him all the ^Dreasons for the ^Cthings he'd done. He came a ^Glong way just to ex^Emplain. He kissed his ^Gboy as he lay ^Dsleeping, then he ^Cturned around and ^Dheaded home ^Gagain^F. ^C ^G
