[Intro] (Palm Mute) Am [Verse 1]
   Am
We met in the springtime

         Am
When the blossoms unfold,

    Am
The pastures were green

        E             Am
And the meadows were gold.

    Am
Our love was in flower

   Am
As summer grew on.

    Am
Her love like the leaves

         E             Am
Now have withered and gone.
[Verse 2]
    Am
The roses have faded

         Am
There's frost at my door.

    Am
The birds in the morning

      E         Am
Don't sing anymore.

    Am
The grass in the valley

   Am
Is starting to die,

    Am
And out in the darkness

    E              Am
The whippoorwills cry.
[Chorus]
  F
Alone and forsaken

   C
By fate and by man.

   E
Oh Lord if you hear me

       Am
Please hold to my hand,

   E             Am
Oh please understand.
[Verse 3]
   Am
Oh where has she gone to,

   Am
Oh where can she be.

    Am
She may have forsaken

     E          Am
Some other like me.

    Am
She promised to honor,

    Am
To love and obey.

     Am
Each vow was a plaything

     E          Am
That she threw away.
[Chorus]
  F
Alone and forsaken

   C
By fate and by man.

   E
Oh Lord if you hear me

       Am
Please hold to my hand,

   E             Am
Oh please understand.
[Solo] Am Am Am E Am Am Am Am E Am F C E Am E Am [Verse 4]
     Am
The darkness has fallen,

    Am
The sky has turned gray,

    Am
The hound in the distance

   E           Am
Is starting to bay.

  Am
I wonder, I wonder

     Am
What she's thinking of.

   Am
Forsaken, forgotten,

  E         Am
Without any love.
[Chorus]
  F
Alone and forsaken

   C
By fate and by man.

   E 
Oh Lord if you hear me

       Am
Please hold to my hand,

   E             Am
Oh please understand.
[Chorus]
  F
Alone and forsaken

   C
By fate and by man.

   E
Oh Lord if you hear me

       Am
Please hold to my hand,

   E             Am
Oh please understand.
[Outro]
   E             Am
Oh please understand.

   E             Am
Oh please understand.
Am Am Am E Am
