Lover's Farewell

             D               G                D                 A
    We have met and we have parted, we have spoke our last goodbye,
              D                  G                D   A             D
    you have proved to me false hearted, you may now        forever go.
               D                      G
    You have wrecked the heart I've cherished,
              D              A
    you have done me day by day,
             D                 G               D         A              D
    you are false but I'll forgive you, to forget you          I cannot say.

       G                 D                  G                   D
For I love you, dear, I love you, more than all this world, I know,
           D                 G                D   A             D
you have proved to me false-hearted, you may now        forever go.

            D               G             D                  A
    On the river bank I'll loiter till I see your face once more,
                D                 G              D    A                  D
    then I'll plunge beneath the water and I'll land       on some far shore.
      D                  G                D                  A
    Among the trees and bushes where the dark green willows wave,
            D               G                     D    A               D
    in the cold and silent rushes, there you'll find        my lonely grave.

         D                G                 D                 A
    O I wish I was white marble, cold and white on some far shore,
               D                       G
    this poor heart would cease from troubling,
              D     A                  D
    and I'd feel          the pain no more.
