Chords

(Walz so 3/4 measure) [Intro] | G | D | G | G | [Verse 1]
G                            C
Beside a new made grave heartbroken

   G                             D     D7
My love for her won't let me go away

    G                           C
And leave her there to sleep forever

     G                 D7              G
all alone beneath that lonely mound of clay
[Verse 2]
                                      C
Many is the times, I've looked toward heaven

    G                          D    D7
And prayed she would never go away

     G                         C
This sinner's prayer was never answered

         G                     D               G
So she's sleeping beneath that lonely mound of clay
[Chorus]
                             C
Oh Lord why did you take her from me

    G                   D
Why didn't you take me away

     G                       C
So I could have been there beside her

     G                 D               G
All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay
[Break] | G | G | C | C | | G | D | G | G | [Verse 3]
                            C
I'll stay beside you little darlin'

      G                           D     D7
And I promise that I'll never go away

  G                        C
Until my life down here is over

           G                 D               G
Then we'll meet beneath that lonely mound of clay
[Outro]
                               C
O'oh Lord why did you take her from me

    G                  D7
Why didn't you take me away

     G                       C
So I could have been there beside her

     G                 D               G
All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay
