Alone and Forsaken (Townes cover)

^BbmWe met in the springtime when blossoms unfold The pastures were ^Abgreen and the meadows were ^Bbmgold

Our love was in flower as summer grew on

Her love like some ^Abnews has withered and ^Bbmgone ^BbmThe roses have faded there's frost at my door The birds in the ^Abmorning don't sing a^Bbmnymore

The grass in the valley is starting to die

And out in the d^Abarkness the whippoorwills ^Bbmcry.

^F#Alone and forsaken by ^Dbfate and by m^Bbman Oh Lord if you hear me p^Ablease hold my ^Bbmhand P^Ablease und^Bbmerstand

^BbmOh where has she gone to oh where can she be? She may have f^Aborsaken some other like ^Bbmme

She promised to honour to love and obey

Each vow was a p^Ablay thing that she threw ^Bbmaway ^BbmThe darkness is falling the sky has turned grey A hound in the d^Abistance is starting to ^Bbmbay

I wonder I wonder what she's thinking of

Forsaken f^Aborgotten without any l^Bbmove

^F#Alone and forsaken by ^Dbfate and by m^Bbman Oh Lord if you hear me p^Ablease hold my ^Bbmhand P^Ablease un^Bbmderstand O^Abh please un^Bbmderstand
