[D]
They were very, very happy, [A] their marriage was a gem, [G] but death was soon to take his
pretty wife [D] away from him.
With her dying breath she whispered, [G] we have everlasting love, and [D] I'll come back to be
with you as a little snow white dove.
Time went by and nothing happened, [A] the dove did not appear, [G] the young man fell in love
again and married in [D] a year.
But the day he brought his new bride [G] home, the neighbors were to see [D] a snow white dove
come fluttering [A] down upon the [E] snowball tree.
[D]
[A] [D] There she sobbed and moaned heartbroken [A] in an almost human way, [G] no matter what the weather
she would perch [D] there every day.
When the neighbors and the servants, [G] yes, the story they had learned, [A] that in the guise
of this white dove [A] the young wife had [D] returned.
The new bride heard the story [A] and her nerves began to fail, [G] the young man tried to help
her but it [Em] was to [D] no avail.
To save his second marriage he [G] knew something must be done, [D] so at dawning the next morning
he went out with his gun.
[B] [D]
He raised the gun and fired through [A] the leaves so deep and green, [G] the snow white breast turned
scarlet and he heard a woman [D] scream.
The dove flew high into [F#m] the air [G] and disappeared from sight, but [D] as he lay there in [B] slumber
the young man died [D] that night.
Beneath the snowball [Bm] tree they buried [A] him to lie in last repose, [G] the young wife and
the servants left for where nobody [A] knows.
Now the big house stands [E] there empty and [G] the garden lies in ruins, [D] but above the young
man's grave each [A] year the snowball [D] tree still blooms.
[A]
[D] They say that no one comes to [A] see that lonely unkept dream, [G] but every year at a certain
time a [D] visitor is seen, and if you spoke to the neighbors then [G] they'll tell you what
they'd see, [D] a snow white dove with a scarlet breast perched on the snowball tree.
There she sobs and moans heartbroken [A] in an almost human way, [G] no matter what the weather
she will perch there [D] every day, and she seems forlorn and lonely for [G] a love that couldn't
last, [D] and you hear her cry in anguish [A] for a sad and [D] tragic past.
Yes, the story of the snow white dove [A] has been told to you [D] at last.
