Alone & Forsaken

[Primera Parte]

Am
   We met in the springtime

When blossoms unfold

The pastures were green
         E            Am
And the meadows were gold

Our love was in flower

As summer grew on

Her love like the leaves
            E         Am
Now has withered and gone

The roses have faded

There's frost at my door

The birds in the morning
       E       Am
Don't sing anymore

The grass in the valley

Is starting to die

And out in the darkness
      E             Am
The whippoorwills cry

[Estribillo]

  F                    C
Alone and forsaken by fate and by 
man

Oh, Lord, if You hear me
        Am
Please hold onto my hand
      E           Am
Oh, please understand

Oh, where has she gone to, oh

Where can she be

She may have forsaken
     E           Am
Some other like me

She promised to honor

To love and obey

Each vow was a plaything
       E         Am
That she threw away

The darkness is falling

The sky has turned gray

A hound in the distance
     E          Am
is starting to bay

I wonder, I wonder

What she's thinking of

Forsaken, forgotten
    E        Am
Without any love

[Estribillo]

  F                    C
Alone and forsaken by fate and by 
man

Oh, Lord, if You hear me
        Am
Please hold onto my hand
      E           Am
Oh, please understand
