[D] [G] [D]
Well, [G] the years creep slowly by, [C] Lorena.
[D] Snow is on the grass [G] again, [D]
and [G] the sun's low down in the sky, [C] Lorena.
[D] Frost gleams where the flowers [G] have been, [Bm] but [Em] the heart beats on as [B] warmly now
as when the summer days [Em] were nigh.
[D]
[G] The sun could never dip [C] so [G] [Am] low, [G] [D] a damn affection's [G] cloudless [D] sky.
[G] A hundred months have passed, [C] Lorena, [D] since last I held your hand [G] in mine,
[D]
and [G] I felt your pulse beat fast, [C] Lorena, [D] though mine beat faster far [G] than thine.
[D] [Em] A hundred months since [B] flowering may, when all the hilly slope [Em] would fly
[D]
[G] to watch the dying of [C] the day [Am]
[Em] [D] and hear the distant church bell [G] [D] chime.
[G] [C]
[D] [G] [D]
[G] We loved each other then, [C] Lorena, [D] more than we'd ever dare [G] to tell,
[D]
[G] and what we might have been, [C] Lorena, [D] had but our lovings [G] prospered well.
[Em] But then, just past the years [B] are gone, I'll not call up the [Em] shadowed fall.
[D]
[G] I'll say to them lost years, [C] sleep on, [Am]
[C] [D] sleep on, nor heed life's pelting [G] storms.
[E]
[A] It matters little now, [D] Lorena, the [E] past is in the eternal [A] past.
[E]
[A] Our heads will soon lie low, [D] Lorena, [E] life's time is ebbing out so [A] fast.
[F#m] There is a future, oh [C#] thank God, of life this is so small [F#m] a [E] part.
[A] Tis dust to dust beneath the [D] [Bm] sun, [E] up there, up there, tis heart to [A] heart,
[E] up there, up there, tis heart [A] to heart.
