[Verse 1]
E F#m D
You were young, but your eyes were younger still
E A
When you found me there.
E F#m D
And you rode down the street to watch me work
E A
Building tables and chairs.
E F#m D
You wore white, we were married in July
E A
In a church on a hill.
E F#m D
And I cried 'cos you looked just like the winter
E A
Dressed in the light.
[Chorus]
D A
Where do I go?
D A E
What do I know now?
A D E A
With my sweet love gone, with my sweet love gone
[Verse 2]
E F#m D
With my hands oh I worked the night and day
E A
And I built you a home
E F#m D
And we raised our own children in those walls
E A
Now they're happy and gone
E F#m D
And our yard it was colourful with flowers
E A
That scented the air
E F#m D
And I watched as they slowly died away
E A
When you needed me there
[Chorus 2]
D A
Who do I be?
D A E
What do I see now?
A D E A
With my sweet love gone, with my sweet love gone
[Verse 3]
E F#m D
You grew old so much faster than I could
E A
And I knew you would go
E F#m D
Laid to rest on a Sunday afternoon
E A
And you left me alone
[Final Chorus]
D A
How do I live?
D A E
What do I give now?
A D E A
With me sweet love gone, with my sweet love gone
