E                A       E
When but a boy I courted Sally, my 
life
                    Dbm
was young not quite sixteen.
   E         A                
We talked of things I sometimes 
  E
dreamed of
           A                 E
and things beyond my wildest dreams.

             A     E
At seventeen I met Wynonna, her warm
 red
             Dbm
lips set me aglow.
    E         A                   
She taught me things she should 
  E
not teach me,
            A                  E
more than a young man ought to know.

At nineteen years my love was 
 E
Sarah..she was
                    Dbm
much older than the rest.
   E       A                E
Of all the men she said had kissed 
her, she
          A                E
loved the way I kissed her best.


BRIDGE:
         Dbm            E
Time has flown and I am older, my 
years are
Dbm             E
five and thirty-five.
              A                
Too late, too late, I've met my 
 E
lover, a woman
A         E
very much alive.

Lolene, Lolene, your name is music, 
your nearness
                   Dbm
makes my blood run wild.
E     A              E          
Alas, alas, I cannot claim you, 
            A
compared to me
             E
you're but a child.


OUTRO:
E                   A       E
So, one last time I must be with 
you, and kiss
                          Dbm
the lips that thrilled my heart.
E        A                   E
And then goodbye, no more to see 
you, forever,
A          E
we must be apart.
