  G     C       G
A short life of trouble
  C                 G
A few short days to part

A short life of trouble, little girl
G       D      G
For the broken heart

  G      C        G
Remember what you promised
    C            G
Not but a week before
    C                   Em
You promised that you'd marry me, girl
        G        D       G
Now I'm knocking at your door


[Chorus]

  G     C       G
A short life of trouble
  C                 G
A few short days to part
  C             Em
A short life of trouble, little girl
G       D      G
For the broken heart

Now you've broken your promise

Marry who you please

My poor heart is taken, little girl
    G     D       G
And lying at your knees

A short life of trouble

A short life of trouble, little girl

For the broken heart
