Carter Family - I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes


 (capo 2nd fret)




(verse 1)
              G                    C
Twould been better for us both had we never
         D               D7              G
In this wide and wicked world had never met,
                                    C
But the pleasure we both seemed to gather
     D                D7      G   
I'm sure, love, I'll never forget


(chorus)
          G                     C
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
         D          D7       G
Who is sailing far over the sea
                            C
I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
       D            D7            G
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me


(verse 2)
Oh, you told me once, dear, that you loved me;
You vowed that we never would part
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leaving me with a sad and aching heart


(chorus)
          G                     C
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
         D          D7       G
Who is sailing far over the sea
                            C
I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
       D            D7            G
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me


(verse 3)
When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me
Will you come near and shed just one tear?
Will you say to the strangers around you
A poor heart you have broken lies here?



(chorus)
          G                     C
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
         D          D7       G
Who is sailing far over the sea
                            C
I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
       D            D7            G
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me
