Bb                F      F            Gm
Since I first saw him, I think myself blind
  Gm                                 D
I look around me and it's only him I see
Bb                      F      F            Gm
His image floats before me so gentle and so kind
   Gm                           D
He has got a clear mind and firm courage

    Gm           D       F             C
Oh, ring upon my finger, little golden ring
  Cm                     Gm               D
Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart
Gm             D       F              C
Sisters come adorn me, banish foolish fear
  Cm                     Gm               D
Twine upon my furrowed brow the blossoming myrtle

   Bb           F               F          Gm
I serve him and live for him belong wholly to him
  Gm                                 D
Give myself and find myself, transfigured by his brightness
Gm           D       F             C
Ring upon my finger, little golden ring
  Cm                      D               Gm
Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart

    Gm                A°            Bb    Gm
The blissful dream of childhood has ended
  Cm           D                        Gm
Now I drink delicious death with you my love
 Gm             A°                 Bb    Gm
Now you have me caused me my first pain,     that really hurt
Cm                     D                       Gm
   You sleep, you hard cruel man, the sleep of death

Gm                    A°               Bb                D
  The veil falls, the bell tolls, the black shawls, the carriage rolls
              Gm6
You, my whole world
