Cara Dillon - The Lonesome Scenes Of Winter
[INTRO:] G
[VERSE 1:]
C G
As the lonesome scenes of winter
C D G
Came stormy winds to blow
C G
Clouds around the centre
C D G
Inclined to frost and snow
[VERSE 2:]
Em C D C
You're the boy that I have chosen
G C D
To be my only dear__
G C G
Your scornful heart is frozen
C D Em
And drifted far I fear
[VERSE 3:]
G C G
One night I went to see my love
C D G
But he proved most scornfully
C G
I asked him if he'd marry me
C D G
But he would not marry me
[VERSE 4:]
Em C D C
The night it is far spent, my love
G C D
It's near the break of day__
G C G
I am waiting for your answer
C D Em
My dear, what do you say?
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G C G Em G C G Em G C G Em G C
[VERSE 5:]
G C G
I can but plainly tell you
C D G
I'll lead a single life
C G
I never thought it fitting
C D G
That you should be my wife
[VERSE 6:]
Em C D C
So take a simple answer
G C D
And for yourself provide__
G C G
I have another sweetheart
C D Em
And you I have laid aside
[VERSE 7:]
G C G
Now my mind is changing
C D G
That old love for the new
C G
This wide and lonesome valley
C D G
I mean to ramble through
[VERSE 8:]
Em C D C
In search of someone handsome
G C D
That might my fancy fill__
G C G
This world is wide and lonesome
C D Em
If he don't, another will
[OUTRO:] (## repeat and fade to end ##)
