D G Well I know that my darling has troublesD A You are hanging down your headD G Your love for me is like the flowersD A D Your love for me’s withered and dead [Chorus]D G I’ve been gathering the flowers from the hillsideD A Just to wreath around your browD G But you kept me a-waiting so long dearD A D That the flowers have all withered now Tenor Guitar Solo [Verse 2]D G How can I go through life feeling lonelyD A How can I go through life feeling sadD G When my dream and the one that I cherishD A D Has forsaken the good for the bad[Chorus]D G I’ve been gathering the flowers from the hillsideD A Just to wreath around your browD G But you kept me a-waiting so long dearD A D That the flowers have all withered now Tenor Guitar Solo [Verse 3]D G I will lift up my head to the angelsD A I will seal all my love with a prayerD G And I’ll pray that the Father in HeavenD A D Will unite us in happiness there [Chorus]D G I’ve been gathering the flowers from the hillsideD A Just to wreath around your browD G But you kept me a-waiting so long dearD A D That the flowers have all withered now Tenor Guitar Solo [Verse 4]D G That is all now my darling I’m leavingD A I hope you will always have funD G While my life here on earth will be lonelyD A D While some other my sweetheart has won [Chorus]D G I’ve been gathering the flowers from the hillsideD A Just to wreath around your browD G But you kept me a-waiting so long dearD A D That the flowers have all withered now
