Oh, the years creep slowly by, [Am] _ Lorena.
[B] Snow is on the [E] ground again. _
The sun's low down the sky, [Am] _ Lorena.
[B] The frost gleams where the [E] flowers are. _ _
[C#m] But the heart beats on as [G#] warmly now
As _ when the summer [C#m] days were nigh.
[B] _
[E] Oh, the sun can never dip [A] so low
To [B] be down in affection's [E] cloudless sky. _

A hundred months passed, [A] _ [Am] Lorena.
[B] Since last I held [E] that hand in mine _
And felt the pulse beat fast, [A] _ Lorena.
[B] Oh, my, it beat fast far [E] and nigh. _ _
[C#m] A hundred months was [G#] flowery May
When _ up that hilly [C#m] slope we'd fly
[B] _
[E] To watch the dying [A] of the day
[F#m] _
[B] And hear the distant church [E] bells chime. _

_ [B] _ [F#m] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
We loved each other then, [A] _ Lorena.
[E] Far [B] more than we ever [E] dared to tell. _
And what we might have [A] been, _ Lorena.
[B] Had our love [E] prospered well _
_ [C#m] _ Then, tis part the years, [G#] oh, love. _
_ I'll not call up their [C#m] shadowy forms. _
[B] _ [E] I'll say of them lost years, [A] sleep [E] on, [F#m] _ [B] sleep on.
Their heat-lights, [E] pelting storms. _
