Misc Traditional – The Girl I Left Behind Me (Guitar)

 C                   G            F
I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill

     C
And o'er the moor and valley.

    C                  G         F
Such heavy thoughts my heart do fill,

       G              C
Since parting with my Sally.

  C       Am    G    Am  G     C
I seek no more the fine and gay,

              Am G Am    G
For each does but remind me

    C                   G     F
How swift the hours did pass away

          G               C
With the girl I've left behind me.

      C                        G           F
Oh ne'er shall I forget the night,

        C
The stars were bright above me,

    C                  G        F
And gently lent their silv'ry light,

     G                    C
When first she vowed she loved me.

    C       Am    G   Am   G     C
But now I'm bound to Brighton camp,

                Am G   Am  G
Kind Heav'n may favour find me,

    C              G     F
And send me safely back again

       G                C
To the girl I've left behind me.
