[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
I once had a dark haired true lover

        D                 G
She was all this world to me

    C                    G
She promised herself to another

    D                        G
Now don’t you think this was mean
[Verse 2]
G
I was young when I wrote my first letter

  D                      G
I blotted the lines with tears

    C                   G
But now I am old I know better

   D                    G
We parted for many long years
[Chorus]
G
Take back every word you have spoken

       D                     G
Let it be as though we never met

      C                         G
For tonight I’m a poor boy heartbroken

        D                      G
I’ll forgive but I’ll never forget
[Verse 3]
G
We parted in the month of September

     D                  G
Some said we parted for life

      C                G
But I hope someday or another

     D                         G
I’ll call you my sweet darling wife
[Chorus]
G
Take back every word you have spoken

       D                     G
Let it be as though we never met

      C                         G
For tonight I’m a poor boy heartbroken

        D                      G
I’ll forgive but I’ll never forget
[Outro]
G
I wish I had someone to love me

    D                    G
Someone to call me their own

        C                        G
For I’m out in this wide world a wandering

    D                G
I’m tired of living alone
