High Noon -Tex Ritter - Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin' chords
Start Jamming...
Now me, [G] I wouldn't leave this town at noon [D#] for all [Am] the tea and china.
No [D] sir, it's going to be quite a sight [G] to see.
[C]
Do not forsake me, oh my darling,
On this our wedding [F] day.
[Em] [Dm]
Do not forsake me, oh [C] my [Am] darling,
[E] Way,
[G] way long,
The [C] noonday [F] train will bring [C] Frank Miller.
If I'm a man, I must [F] be [C#] brave,
[Dm]
And I must [F] face a [F#] [C] man who hates me.
[F] Or [C] lie a cow, [F] a [C] craving cow,
[F] Or lie [Am] a coward [Dm] in [G] [C] my grave.
[F]
Or to be torn between love and duty,
[C]
Supposing I lose my fair hearted beauty,
[F]
Look at that big hand move along,
[C]
Near and high noon.
[F] He made a vow while in state's prison,
[C]
Vowed it would be my life for his.
[Fm]
I'm not afraid of death, but oh,
[C]
What will I [Dm] do if you [D]
leave [G] me?
Do not [C] forsake me, [F] oh [C] my darling,
You made that promise when [F] we [C#] wed.
[Dm]
Do not forsake [F#] me, oh [C] my darling,
[F]
Although [C] you're grieving,
[F]
I won't [C] be leaving,
[F]
Until [C] I shoot [Am] [Dm] Frank [G] Miller [C] dead.
[F] Wait along, [C] wait along, wait [F] along,
Wait along.
[Am] [C]
