Capo 2
Play G as a barre chord on the third fret (from the capo)
[Verse 1]
Am E Am
Once I had a dear companion
Am F G E
Indeed I thought his love my own
Am E G Am
Until a black-eyed girl betrayed me
Am F G Am
And now he cares no more for me
[Verse 2]
Am E Am
Just go and leave me if you wish to
Am F G E
Far from this lonely world I’ll flee
Am E G Am
For in your heart you love another
Am F G Am
And in my grave I'd rather be
[Verse 3]
Am E Am
Last night you were so sweetly sleeping
Am F G E
Dreaming in some soft repose
Am E G Am
While I a poor girl broken hearted
Am F G Am
Was listening to the wind that blows
[Verse 4]
Am E Am
I never did think of being ‘out you
Am F G E
I never did think of you being gone
Am E G Am
But oh my love the wind keeps crying
Am F G Am
Farewell true love, I’m left alone
[Verse 5]
Am E Am
Just go and leave me if you wish to
Am F G E
Far from this lonely world I’ll flee
Am E G Am
For in your heart you love another
Am F G Am
And in my grave I'd rather be
