Mary Black – The Loving Time (Guitar)

   C             G
It reads like a fairy tale

    Am             F
And that's what it was

C                G
Young man in his prime

      Am            F
Young girl from the Cross

C                   G
The most perfect of strangers

Am                    F
Then the night closed in 

        C    G
And the holy ground

G            F
Took care of everything

C            G
Now she was a fine one

    Am                F
And he was a handsome man

C              G
One look was enough

      Am      F
And away they ran

           C          G
They spent many happy hours

             Am           F
And then the night closed in 

        C    G
And the holy ground

G            F
Took care of everything

F              G         C
Oh, what's the use in complaining?

F        G               Am
In for a penny, in for a pound

F     G        Am
I remember the loving time

F           G           C
And nothing else really counts

Am               C
And I recall the promise they made

       Am              C
With a faith I can but admire

      Am               C
That she'd be the one he adored

F               C       F
And he'd be her heart's desire

C               G
It didn't come true in the end

Am                       F
They went their separate ways

C                          G
He couldn't change what he was

Am                  F
She wasn't ready to wait

C                         G
They couldn't live in the daylight

Am                       F
They let the night close in

        C    G
And the holy ground

G            F
Took care of everything

C                         G
They couldn't live in the daylight

Am                       F
They let the night close in

        C    G
And the holy ground

G            F
Took care of everything

F     G        Am
I remember the loving time

F           G           C
And nothing else really counts
