Flowers In The Dell

(Key of E, played from open C 
position with capo at the 4th fret)

      C               F       
While travelling on a train one 
           C
morning, just to take a ride,

    F                C            
The car was full and I did not 
      D            G - G7
know who I sat down beside.

         C                       
Then she said \"It's been a long, 
              F                 C
long time.\" I felt my blood run 
cold.

    F                 C           
For there, beside me, sat the girl
               G        C
 who turned my heart to stone.


She said she was sorry for what 
she'd done, she'd started ife anew.
And 'though she told me many times 
before, this time I believed it was 
true.
So I took her to the porter's car, I
 got down on my knees.

And as I held her in my arms, she 
said that she'd marry me. (C7)

  F                   C            
A little cabin in the countryside, 
F                  C
curtains and fancy frills.

  F                C              
A little girl with dark brown 
              G      C
eyes, and flowers in the dell,

       F         C       G      
In the dell, and flowers in the 
C
dell.


The train pulled into the Lincoln 
station. I reached up to help her 
down,
But she ran into another man's arms 
as soon as her feet touched the 
ground.
Then she turned and she looked and I
 heard her laugh, for all the world 
to see.
And as she turned, I reached out and
 grabbed her, before she could walk 
away.

    F               C       
The whistle blew, I heard her 
               F                   
scream, I'll hear it 'til my dying 
  C
day,

    F                   C         
And as she struggled, I turned and
               G                   
 I threw her beneath the wheels of 
    C - C7
the train.

(Chorus)

(Instrumental verse)

    C             F               
The judge he said ninety-nine 
   C
years, grant him no parole.

     F                   C        
They put me in a cell in shackles 
               G             C - C7
and chains and nailed up the door.

(Chorus)
