The Girl In The Wood Chords

(ver. 1)
Frankie Laine
[Verse 1]
Am
Oh when I was a young boy
Am
And drove my mother wild
  F            G7
I met a maiden in the woods
    C        E7
And she said child
 
E7
Look deep into my green eyes
    Dm           Am
And at my autumn hair
                                   Dm
When your a man you'll never see a girl
         Am
Quite as fair
 
[Chorus]
  F              C      Em
Remember me oh remember me
  Dm                          Am
Remember for the rest of your life
 
[Verse 2]
Am
Her eyes were green as grassy pools
Am
Lookin' right at me
    F                 G7
Her hair was red and grown with leaves
     C              E7
Just like an autumn tree
 
E7
She moved her tiny hands
    Dm                Am
And she made a little turn
                  Dm
She swayed in the wind
                     Am
Just like a graceful fern
 
[Verse 3]
Am
I swore as she vanished
Am
That when I was full grown
    F                G7
I'd have a girl just like her
   C          E7
To be my very own
 
E7
And now I am a man
    Dm             Am
And I'd marry if I could
                     Dm
But I can't lose the memory
                   Am
Of the girl in the wood
 
[Chorus]
  F              C      Em
Remember me oh remember me
  Dm                          Am
Remember for the rest of your life
 
[Verse 4]
Am
I wished a hundred times
Am
That she'd never looked at me
     F              G7
With the first wild beauty
     C              E7
That only youth can see
 
E7
For man cannot find it
     Dm                 Am
When he's lookin' for a wife
                    Dm
And he'll end up in bachelorhood
                Am
The rest of his life
 
[Chorus]
  F              C      Em
Remember me oh remember me
  Dm                          Am
Remember for the rest of your life
  Dm                          Am
Remember for the rest of your life
