     C                                       F
They stood in the moonlight out there by the gate

     G7                                   C
"Goodbye, little darling, I know you will wait"

    C                                         F
She ceased her weeping and smiled through her tears

         G7                                     C
Saying, "I'll be true, love, for all these long years"

[Chorus]

     C                                   F
I've loved you always, oh yes, I've been true

   G7                                 C
My heart won't ever cease longing for you

  C                                      F
Believe me, little darling, o'er land or sea

        G7                              C
Through life or death, so faithful I'll be

[Verse 2]

    C                                 F
One year had passed by, and returning home

    G7                           C
His pilgrimage over, no never to roam

   C                               F
He once again seeks the old garden gate

       G7                          C
But he seeks, alas, alas, it's too late

    C                                  F
The wedding is over, the knot has been tied

   G7                              C
He finds his darling another man's bride

[Chorus]

     C                                   F
I've loved you always, oh yes, I've been true

   G7                                 C
My heart won't ever cease longing for you

  C                                      F
Believe me, little darling, o'er land or sea

        G7                              C
Through life or death, so faithful I'll be

[Interlude] G7 C [Verse 4]

     C                                           F
Next morning, they found him laying there in the grass

  G7                              C
A pistol nearby, it told what had passed

  C                                 F
A prompting letter that told of the deed

    G7                                           C
And in the pale moonlight, these words you could read

[Chorus]

     C                                   F
I've loved you always, oh yes, I've been true

   G7                                 C
My heart won't ever cease longing for you

  C                                      F
Believe me, little darling, o'er land or sea

        G7                              C
Through life or death, so faithful I'll be
