Jimmie Rodgers – Why Did You Give Me Your Love (Guitar)

| C | E | A | A |
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

| D | G | C | C |
Mmm, mmm, mmm

                E7           A
Oh, why did you give me your love, dear?

        D             G
When it only lasted a day

C           E           A
Why did you teach me to love you?

D                G
Only to turn me away

    C             E            A
You promised that you would be true

     D7                 G
Your promise was all in vain

    C              E           A
But my heart keeps calling for you, dear

         D       G            C
Like the flowers call for the rain

                      F
You may be sorry some day, dear

D7                      G      G7
That you have broken my heart

C                      G
That you have cast me away, dear

D/A        D           G      G7
And fooled me from the start

    C                 F
Now this is my last appeal, dear

     D7             G    G7
I've only a word to say

C           E            A
Why did you give me your love, dear?

        D7     G      C
When it lasted only a day

               G7     C
When it lasted only a day
