[C]
We met in the springtime, when blossoms unfold.
The pastures were green [G] and the meadows [Cm] were gold.
[C] Our love was in flower as summer grew old.
Our love, like the leaves now, [G] have withered [Cm] and gone.
[C] Roses have faded.
There's frost at my door.
The birds in the morning [G] don't sing [Cm] anymore.
[C] The glass in the valley is starting to dark.
And now in the darkness, [G] the whipper [C] will cry.
[Ab] Oh, Lord, have I forsaken [Eb] my friend and my man?
[G] Oh, Lord, if you hear me, [Cm] please hold me to my hand.
[G] Oh, please [C] understand.
Nowhere has she gone to, but where can she be?
She may have forsaken [G] some other [C] life, no.
She promised to honor, to love, and obey.
Each vow was a plaything [G] that she [C] threw away.
[Ab] Oh, Lord, have I forsaken [Eb] my friend and my man?
[G] Oh, Lord, if you hear me, [Cm] please hold me to my hand.
[G] Oh, please [Cm] understand.

The [C] [Cm]
[C] darkness has fallen.
The sky has turned gray.
The howling [Cm] in the distance [G] is starting [Cm] to fade.
[C] I wonder, I wonder if she's thinking of forsaken,
forgotten, [G] without [C] any love.
[Ab] Oh, Lord, have I forsaken [Eb] my friend and my man?
[G] Oh, Lord, if you hear me, [Cm] please hold me to my hand.
[G] Oh, please [C] understand.
[Ab] Oh, Lord, have I forsaken [Eb] my friend and my man?
[G] Oh, Lord, if you hear me, [C] please [Cm] hold me to my hand.
