[Intro] C

This no song of ingenue

F                  E
This no ballad of innocence

Am                  F
This the rhyme of a lady who

Dm               G
Followed ever the natural bents

C               C7
This a solo of sapience

F                  E
This a chantey of sophistry

Am                 F
This the sum of experiments

Dm                G         C
I loved them until they loved me

I loved them until they loved me

I loved them until they loved me

C                     C7
Decked in garments of sable hue

F                      E
Daubed with ashes of myriad Lents

Am               F
Wearing shower bouquets of rue

Dm              G
Walk I ever in penitence

C                 C7
Oft I roam as my heart repents

F                       E
Through God's acre of memory

Am                      F
Marking stones in my reverence

Dm                G         C
I loved them until they loved me

I loved them until they loved me

         E         Am
Pictures pass me in long review -

         F          G     C
Marching columns of dead events

      E           Am
I was tender and often true

       Dm           G
Ever a prey to coincidence

C                  C7
Always knew I the consequence

F                    E
Always saw what the end would be

Am                   F
We're as Nature has made us -- hence

Dm                G         C
I loved them until they loved me

                     C7
I loved them until they loved me

F                     E        Am  F  Dm  G
I loved them until they loved me

C                  C7
Princes never I'd give offense

F                      E
Won't you think of me tenderly

Am                         F
Here's my strength and my weakness gents

C                  C7
This no song of ingenue

F                  E
This no ballad of innocence

Am                  F
This the rhyme of a lady who
