[Verse 1]
Bb Why have my lov’d ones gone, Eb/Bb Bb Like the dew ’neath the early sun?
Why am I left alone,
F7 Bb While all their troubles here done? F7 Bb My days of youth have passed away Eb/Bb Bb And the shades of life are near, Eb Bb But I still remain to mourn the happy days F7 Bb Where dear departed friends were here.
[Chorus]
Bb Why have my lov’d ones gone, Eb Bb Gone to return no more Eb Bb Calmly gliding o’er a Summer sea F7 Bb Whilst I’m left plodding on the shore?
[Verse 2]
Bb Why have my lov’d ones gone, Eb/Bb Bb From the joys and pains of life?
Why do I still live on,
F7 Bb Alone to battle in the strife? F7 Bb Alone to struggle in the fray, Eb/Bb Bb Till my earthly cares are done; Eb Bb While the young, the fair have vanish’d from the day, F7 Bb Before their sorrows had begun.
[Chorus]
Bb Why have my lov’d ones gone, Eb Bb Gone to return no more Eb Bb Calmly gliding o’er a Summer sea F7 Bb Whilst I’m left plodding on the shore?
[Verse 3]
Bb Why have my lov’d ones gone, Eb/Bb Bb While the Springtime is on the breeze?
Gliding the hill side farm,
F7 Bb And breathing music thro’ the trees! F7 Bb The birds are singing in the air, Eb/Bb Bb And the flow’rs are in their bloom; Eb Bb All things around are beautiful and fair F7 Bb But still my spirit lies in gloom.
[Chorus]
Bb Why have my lov’d ones gone, Eb Bb Gone to return no more Eb Bb Calmly gliding o’er a Summer sea F7 Bb Whilst I’m left plodding on the shore?
