[D] I'll tell you a [A] story [D] if you'll listen [G] a while
To [D] some will bring heartaches while others [A] may smile
To [D] some will [A] bring memories [D] of fond [G] days gone by
[D] While others may let it pass [A] by [D] with a sigh
I [G] know that most everyone's fallen in [D] love
Thought her as sweet as the angels [A] above
If [D] by chance [A] you potted [D] your heartache [G] with pain
[D] You'd give this whole world [A] for her love [D] once again
One day in [A] midsummer [D] a girl [G] I did meet
With [D] a smile like my mother's and a face oh [A] so sweet
It [D] seemed [G] this whole [A] world [D] was just one [G] happy dream
We [D] strolled in the [A] evening amid the [D] moonbeam
[G] With autumn leaves falling we fashioned [D] a dream
Planned a gay wedding as lovers [A] will scheme
[D] Then one night she [A] told me with [D] tears [G] in her eyes
No [D] more could we [A] wanderneath pale [D] moonlit skies
Her parents [A] had told her [D] she'd never [G]
find joy
If she [D] married a reckless and a rambling
[A] cowboy
With [D] his home in [A] the saddle [D] his home [G] near his pal
He'd [D] forget to return to [A] his little [D] cowgal
With [G] a heart full of sadness I bid her [D] farewell
And the sorrow it caused me no song could [A] ever tell
[D] To some life [A] brings heartaches [D] while others [G] find joy
While [D] I'm just a lonely [A] and a rambling [D] cowboy
To [D] some will bring heartaches while others [A] may smile
To [D] some will [A] bring memories [D] of fond [G] days gone by
[D] While others may let it pass [A] by [D] with a sigh
I [G] know that most everyone's fallen in [D] love
Thought her as sweet as the angels [A] above
If [D] by chance [A] you potted [D] your heartache [G] with pain
[D] You'd give this whole world [A] for her love [D] once again
