[Ab] [A] Why must you treat me as if I were only [E] a friend?
What [E] have I done that's made you so [A] different and cold?
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be [A] [D] contented again
[E] Will you be happy when you are withered [A] and old?
I cannot offer you diamonds or mansions [E] so fine
I cannot offer you clothes that your young [A] body craves
But if you'll say that forever you will [D] be mine
[E] Think of the tears and the sorrow [A] you'll save
When you are weary and tired of another [E] one's go
When you are lonely remember this letter [A] my aunt
Don't try to answer though I suffer anguish [D]
untoward
[E] If you don't love me I wish you would leave me [A] alone
While I read this letter I [E] think of the past
And of the promises that you are [A] so free
But soon I'll bid my farewell to this old world [D] at last
[E] I will be gone to read this last letter [A] from me
What [E] have I done that's made you so [A] different and cold?
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be [A] [D] contented again
[E] Will you be happy when you are withered [A] and old?
I cannot offer you diamonds or mansions [E] so fine
I cannot offer you clothes that your young [A] body craves
But if you'll say that forever you will [D] be mine
[E] Think of the tears and the sorrow [A] you'll save
When you are weary and tired of another [E] one's go
When you are lonely remember this letter [A] my aunt
Don't try to answer though I suffer anguish [D]

[E] If you don't love me I wish you would leave me [A] alone
While I read this letter I [E] think of the past

[E] I will be gone to read this last letter [A] from me
