[Verse 1]
               E               A
Our hands are clasped, alas, forever

               E           B7
perhaps we'll never meet again,

            E              A
I loved you as I loved no other,

              B7                  E
this parting fills my heart with pain.
[Chorus]
                 E              A
As through this weary world I wander,

             E                B7
my thoughts alone will be of you.

         E                A
In memory I will see you ever,

              B7              E
I loved you better than you knew.
[Instrumental] E A E B7 E A B7 E [Verse 2]
               E             A
You asked and freely I'll forgive you,

           E             B7
the happy past I must forget,

             E               A
and while I wander lone in silence,

              B7            E
I hope that you'll be happy yet.
[Chorus]
                 E              A
As through this weary world I wander,

             E                B7
my thoughts alone will be of you.

         E                A
In memory I will see you ever,

              B7              E
I loved you better than you knew.
[Instrumental] E A E B7 E A B7 E [Verse 3]
             E            A
Perhaps when I am gone forever,

                  E               B7
you'll sometimes sit and think of me,

           E               A
and wonder if I'm dead or living,

              B7                E
perhaps I'll think the same of you.
[Chorus]
                 E              A
As through this weary world I wander,

             E                B7
my thoughts alone will be of you.

         E                A
In memory I will see you ever,

              B7              E
I loved you better than you knew.
