Misc Traditional – Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms (Guitar)

        C                     F              Dm
[tab]            C          G      C
    Which I gaze on so fondly today,

            C                      F           Dm
    Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms,

         Am          G      C
    Like fairy wings fading away

                                          F           C
    Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,

                       G          C
    Let thy loveliness fade as it will;

                                  F          Dm
    And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart

          C              G         C
    Would entwine itself fervently still.

          C                    F               Dm
    It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,

            C                 G    C
    And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear,

                                   F           Dm
    That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known,

             Am                 G         C
    To which time will but make thee more dear.

                                       F        C
    No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,

                       G         C
    But as truly loves on to the close:

                                  F           Dm
    As the sunflower turns on her God when He sets

        C         G                        C
    The same look which she turned when He rose.
