I Gave My Love A Candle

C F C F G

[Verse]

C            E   Am
I gave my love a candle
G            C
A promise at life
F                      G
And I told him when my number comes up
C                E   Am
Winds would fill the sky
F       G        F C
Me I’m fixin’, to die
F                C
Moving down that same lonesome road
C             E  Am
No, I don’t know why
F        G        C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye


[Verse]

C                  F        Em
You didn’t have to fool me
C
You didn’t have to lie
F        Am                 G
My love comes around like a thief in the night
         C        G        C Am
But only love can make you cry
    F              G       C
And we have walked side by side
F                G
Moving down that same lonesome road
C    G        E Am
No I don’t know why
F        G        C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Bridge]

F                    G
Your love was like a diamond ride a wave
C                   E  Am
On a sea that calms my mind
F                G
Moving onward to a distant shore
C                       E  Am
Where the boats sail in a line
F                   G       C
We have danced to a fateful rhyme
F                G            C
Moving down the same lonesome road
C    G        E Am
No I don’t know why
F        G        C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Verse]

C                  F
You didn’t have to fool me, no
Em         C
You didn’t have to lie
F                      G
If it all came out so ugly
             C         G           E  Am
It’s only my love that could make you cry
C   F               G       C
And we have walked side by side
F                G
Moving down that same lonesome road
C            G       E Am
And I still don’t know why
C        G        C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Outro]

Bb        C        F
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
F   E   F
Ooh ooh ooh
F        G        C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
