_ A [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ day the whole _ _ sea became [G] a gap for [C] my _ sight,
and _ no bird was seen _ [Em] there circling _ [C] under the sky.
_ _ [D]
I walked among [G] wild _ roses, _ among [Gb] roses and [G] among flowers,
_ _ [C] and thought of my beloved _ [Em] _ who is far [C] away. _ _ _
_ [F] I laid down [Gm] on the _ ground, [C] I named _ her [F] name,
_ _ [Gm] I pushed the road [Dm] towards the [F] earth _ [G] which was _ _ [E] her [C] lap,
_ [F] and the sun _ [Gm] sank in the _ sea and the evening became [A] so _ [F] warm.
[Bb] I [Gm] stumbled _ [Dm] and _ [F] thought _ [Gm] she was asleep [Em] on my [F] _ arm,
[G] [C] then I heard _ the sound of the _ yoke, [G] the gong, but [Am] only for a moment.
_ [C] I _ fell asleep on the _ ground [G] with a wild rose [C] against my mouth. _
_ [D] I was so tired [G]
of love, _ of [Am] longing [G] and of sorrow.
_ _ [C]
My beloved _ has _ forgotten [G] me and gone to _ [C] _
_ Gothenburg,
_ [F] but the guard _ [Gm] in the _ [C] gossips [E] on Sweden's [F] west _ _ coast
[Gm] who now travels _ to _ _ [F] the sea [G] and the west coast of [C] the wind
_ _ _ [F] where _ _ _ [Gm] many _ _ promises are given [Am] [C] but _ very _ [A]
few are kept.
_ _ [Bb] No, [Gm] the west wind [Dm] and the _ [F] waves _ [Gm]
no _ one can [C] trust.
