[B] _ _ _ _ _ Oh, I was [E] born _ [F#m] with the name _ [B] Geraldine, _ [E] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ with hair [E] cold black as [B] a raven.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ I traveled my [E] life _ [F#m] without _ a [B] care, _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ but all [F#] my love I [B] was saving.
_ [E] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh, the winds blew [E] high and [F#m] the trees did [B] sway. _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ Not much from [E] life was [B] I asking,
_ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ till I met [E] someone to [F#m] give all [B] my love, _ [E] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ all my love [F#m] so [F#] long [B] and lasting.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
Oh, good were the [E] parts we [F#m]
played in [B] our game, _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ and the long ways [E] off was [B] tomorrow.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ But my love was [E] a rambler and [F#m] restless as [B] the sea, _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ and in the [F#m]
tide came [B] sorrow.
_ [E] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh, a child of the [E]
night [F#m] isn't gonna be [B] born, _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ I _ can't [E] explain my _ [B] confusion. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Is my love [E] thinking _ [F#] to marry me at [B] all?
_ [E] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ Or the freedom [F#] he thinks he'll be [B] losing? _

I sit with my [E] friends in the [F#m] gay [B] crowded room.

_ _ [E] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ My baby is [E] a growing [F#m] as a growing it [B] must.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ If I were to [E] lose it, it [B] would grieve _ [E] me.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ My love is [E] so helpless and I'm [F#] wondering what to [B] do. _
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh, how [F#] I yearn to [B] help him.
_ [E] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh, we could [E] go to the [F#] land of your [B] _
choice, [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ where the shame won't come a [E] knocking at [B] our door.
_ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ I bet I have a feeling in my [E] heart and [F#] it's crushing all my [B] hopes.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ I think I'm [E] gonna [F#] be hurt [B] some more.
