Eddy Arnold – Echo Of Your Footsteps (Guitar)

                      C7      F
The day that you told me, you wanted to be free

   G7                               C
I agreed with everything you had to say

                C7        F
But I confess I lied, and darlin' how I cried

         G7                           C
When the echo of your footsteps died away

  G7                  G              C
I thought our castles had a firm foundation

C7  D7                         G7   G
But all along was only made of clay

     C                    C7   F
With aching heart I found,  it tumbled to the ground

         G                            C
When the echo of your footsteps died away

   C                     F
If I had only known, I'd feel so all alone

         G                 G7               C
I'd have begged down on my knees for you to stay

    C                        F
The gates to paradise, swung closed before my eyes

         G            G7              C
When the echo of your footsteps died away

   G7                     G        C
No matter where you are I wish you well dear

    D7                           G7  G
And I ask God to bless you every day

    C                F
For I cannot deny, I bid my heart goodbye

         G                      G7     C
When the echo of your footsteps died a-way...
