Capo III
Not exact, but sounds close and feels right
[G] When you left the reservation,
didn't I promise you my [Am] life?
Said I'd [Bm] make it in the [Cm] city
I can't [G] farm this land no [Em] more
And [G] didn't you like the dress I bought you
at the ladies store in [Am] town
So the [Bm] people wouldn't be [Cm] laughing
at the I[G] ndian skins you [Em] wore
[G] Oh Ang [C] elina,
did you[ Am] have to go so [Cm] far
Seven [Am], weeks I have not found you
And it's [Em], snowing on the [C] mountain
[G] Waiting at the railway station
I didn't mean to make you [Am] cry
But the [Bm] conductor said to [Cm] hurry
or we'd [G] all be left [Em] behind
You know I [G] couldn't have bought the ticket
if it cost a dollar [Am] more
And I [Bm] laughed, I laughed and turned [Cm] around
to take [G] your hand and you were [Em] gone
[G] Oh Ang [C] elina,
did you[ Am] have to go so [Cm] far
Seven [Am], weeks I have not found you
And it's [Em], snowing on the [C] mountain
