   C                 Em
If I had known, your heart was down

     F             G
That lonely day in Greenvilletown

     C                 Em
Then I would have been more concerned

    F           G
But later on, I truly learned

    C              Em
How it can feel in every bone

    F                     G
To really see that you're all alone

    Am         F         C
But I'll, I'll kiss your head

     Am     F         C
When death finds your bed

            F
And you are gone

       C              Em
And if I had seen the way it would be

    F                    G
I'd hush your cries when you came to me

   C               Em
If I could do what I did to you

    F                       G
The same to me, and I would love for you to see

    Am      F       C
That I sleep with remorse

    Am           F        C
And regret hangs round my door 

        F
Forevermore

       C               Em
And if I had known the lowering tide

     F                G
Was lowering with the way you felt inside

   C               Em
If I had known all hope was gone

   F                  G
A broken heart and a broken home

     Am         F       C
That pierced my lover's past

     Am       F     C   
And carved a lonely path for 

        F
her to walk

      C             Em
So if ever someone says to you

 F                    G
"Life isn't fair, get used to it"

     C                       Em
Then you should say -- "Well it might be

   F                   G
If folks like you would let it be"

    Am         F         C
But I'll, I'll kiss your head

     Am      F         C
When death becomes my bed

          F
And I am gone.
