CI was all alone, we were young, you wCere like wine
CHeady as the fog rolling in o'erC the hillside
FLovely as the song in the air as Fthe wind blows
AmOpiate as the cold of the frost oAmn the windows
FLo, the rose is gone from my eyes C(so deceiving)
FSo, my little dove, I'm afraid CI am leaving
(mandolin/ violin picking here)
C (strum hard 7 times)
Now, I am not the fool I was when I was younger
C C (strum hard 7 times)
Crocodile eyes, I have seen how you hunger
F F (listen to song for strum patterns)
Fluttering your lashes, like ashes and embers
AmWarm and bright as fire devoAmuring timber
FNo, I cannot trust what you say when youC're grieving
FSo, my love, I'm sorry, but still: IC am leaving
(more picking)
FEven when you hunt me with ire, relentless
FBatter down my door when you find me defenAmseless
FI will not abide all your raging and reaCving
F (strum once) C
I have set my mind and my will: I am leaving
