"Alone & Forsaken"- Emmylou Harris & Mark Knopfler chords
Start Jamming...
[Am]
We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold The pastures were green [E] and the [Am] meadows were
cold Our love was in flower as summer grew on
His love like the leaves now [E] has [Am] withered and gone
The roses have faded, there's frost at my door
The birds in the morning [Em] don't sing [Am] anymore The grass in the valley is starting to die
And out in the darkness [E] the [Am] whipperwills cry
Alone [F]
and forsaken [C] by fate and my mind
Lord [G] if you hear me, [Am] please hold your mind [E] Oh please [Am] understand
[Bm] [Am]
[E] [Am]
[C] [F] [C]
[G] [Am]
[E] [Am]
Oh where has he gone to, oh where can he be He may have forsaken [E] some other [Am] life
He promised to honor, to love and obey Each vow was a plaything [E] that he threw [A] away
[Am] The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray
Oh and in the distance [E] is starting [Am] to bay
I wonder, I wonder what he's thinking of Forsaken, forgotten, [E] without any [Am] love
Alone [F]
and forsaken [C] by fate and my mind Oh lord [G] if you hear me, [Am] please hold your mind
[F] [C] Forsaken, but if [G] you hear [Am] me, please hold your mind [E] Oh please [Am] understand
