The Carter Family – Broken Engagement (Guitar)

E
They were standing by the window

B7                         E
As the breeze did kiss her cheek

A                     E
He had waited long in silence

B7                     E
Waited long for her to speak

E
Then at last she whispered softly

B7                               E
As she raised those tear-stained eyes

A                      E
With a look so full of anguish

B7                         E
That it filled him with surprise

E
Oh, they say, you love another

B7                      E
That you never did love me

A                          E
If those words be true, my Darling

B7                   E
I'll forever set you free

E
Oh, they're true, my Dear, he answered

B7                    E
By the shining stars above

A                       E
When they told you my intention

B7                        E
There they told you of my love

E
Goodbye Darling, I must leave you

B7                                E
As she grasped those outstretched hands

A                         E
Covered them with burning kisses

B7                    E
Saying, God will understand

E
He was standing by her casket

B7                    E
As he looked upon her face

A                        E
Then he realized that he loved her

B7                        E
And no one could take her place
