G C
In vain I try to dry a tear
G D
Which falls down from my eyes

It makes me think of the one I love

Who in the cold grave lies

My heart is very sad I vow

One thing cheers me through my life

The only merit I have left

The portrait of my wife

She gave it with the parting kiss
G D
She gave it with a sigh
G G/F# C
And said dear husband do take this
Em D
Before I say goodbye

This portrait of your wife
