Chords

From her 1960 album [Intro - guitar and banjo play the verse tune and chords] G D G X2 G C G G D G [Verse 1]
       G                        D           G
I will twine with my mingles of raven black hair

         G                    D         G
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair;

    G                          C       G
The myrtle so bright with it's emerald dew

                                D            G
And the pale and the leader and eyes look so blue.
[Verse 2]
       G                          D             G
I will dance, I would sing and my life shall be gay.

       G                         D            G
I will charm every heart, in its crown I will sway.

     G                              C         G      
When woke from my dreaming, and all idols was clay

        G                      D          G
And all portions of lovin' had all flown away.
[Instrumental- guitar and banjo play the verse tune and chords] G D G X2 G C G G D G [Verse 3]
   G                         D           G
He taught me to love him and promised to love

    G                   D       G
And cherish me over all others above.

   G                          C          G
My poor heart is wond'ring no misery can tell.

   G                      D            G
He left me no warning, no words of farewell.
[Verse 4]
   G                         D             G
He taught me to love him and called me his flower

         G                             D            G
That was blooming to cheer him through life's weary hour.

       G                    C             G
How I long to see him and regret the dark hour

     G                      D             G
He's gone and neglected his pale wildwood flower.
[Outro] G D G X2 G C G G D G
