[E]
There was a man, [C#m]
a lord,
[B]
who lost his love through [A] his
[E] indifference.
A heart that [C#m] cared, [F#] that one [A#] shared,
[B] until it died within [A] his [E] silence.
There was a man, [C#m]
a lord,
[B]
who lost his love through [A] his
[E] indifference.
A heart that [C#m] cared, [F#] that one [A#] shared,
[B] until it died within [A] his [E] silence.
