Intro: A E A D E A
A D
They stood in the moonlight nearby the gate
E A
Goodbye, my darling, I know you'll wait
D
She ceased her weeping and smiled through tears
E A
Saying, I've been true, love, through these long years
A D
For on tomorrow at the break of day
E A
He was to journey far far away
D
He held her closer, his promised bride
E A
And to her questions these words replied
A D
I've loved you always, yes, I've been true
E A
My heart shall never be, love, but for you
D
Oh, darling, believe me, far over the sea
E A
Through life or death, so faithful I'll be
Intrumental: A E A D E A
A D
One year passed by, he's coming home
E A
His pilgrimage over, no longer to roam
D
And smiling, he thinks of her shining eye
E A
Shining with welcome, a glad surprise
A D
A dainty letter he takes from his breast
E A
To which his extended lips were pressed
D
And reading once more by the warming light
E A
The words he had spoken to her that night
A D
I've loved you always, yes, I've been true
E A
My heart shall never be, love, but for you
D
Oh, darling, believe me, far over the sea
E A
Through life or death, so faithful I'll be
Instrumental A E A D E A
A D
Once more he seeks the old garden gate
E A
But he arrives, alas, alas, it's too late
D
The wedding is over, the knot is tied
E A
He finds his darling another's bride
A D
And later they found him there on the grass
E A
A pistol nearby, still holding fast
D
A crop of letters that explained the deed
E A
And in the pale moonlight these words did read
A D
I've loved you always, yes, I've been true
E A
My heart shall never be, love, but for you
D
Oh, darling, believe me, far over the sea
E A
Through life or death, so faithful I'll be
