C F G7 C
[Verse 1]
C F
They stood in the moonlight nearby the gate
G7 C
Goodbye my darling I know you'll wait
C F
She ceased her weeping and smiled through her tears
G7 C
Sayin' I've been true love through these long years
C F
For on tomorrow at the break of day
G7 C
He was to journey far far away
C F
He held her closer his promise bride
G7 C
And to her question, these words replied:
[Chorus]
C F
I've loved you always, yes I've been true
G7 C
My heart shall never feel love but for you
C F
Oh darling believe me, far over the sea
G7 C
Through life or death so faithful I'll be
[Verse 2]
C F
One year passed by, he's coming home
G7 C
His pilgrimmage over, no longer to roam
C F
And smiling, he thinks of her shining eyes
G7 C
Shining with welcome and glad suprise
C F
A dainty letter he takes from his breast
G7 C
To which his extended lips were pressed
C F
And reading once more by the warming light
G7 C
The words he had spoken to her that night
[Chorus]
C F
I've loved you always, yes I've been true
G7 C
My heart shall never feel love but for you
C F
Oh darling believe me, far over the sea
G7 C
Through life or death so faithful I'll be
[Verse 3]
C F
Once more he seeks the old garden gates
G7 C
But arrives alas alas it's too late
C F
The wedding is over, the knot is tied
G7 C
He finds his darling another's bride
C F
And later they found him there on the grass
G7 C
A pistol nearby did tell what had passed
C F
A crumpled letter that explains the deed
G7 C
and in the pale moonlight these words did read
[Chorus]
C F
I've loved you always, yes I've been true
G7 C
My heart shall never feel love but for you
C F
Oh darling believe me, far over the sea
G7 C
Through life or death so faithful I'll be
[Outro]
