He Lived Alone In Town

(início)

      Am    E     Am     Am
He lived alone in town
       G          D        E          E7
His friends were many and true
      Am      Am/G    Dm/F#   Dm/F
He drank and took the easy love
      Am         E       Am       Am/E
Of street girls that he knew
        Am     E      Am      Am
And he met a girl one day
            G        D      E     E7
Said "come home with me tonight"
     Am        Am/G     Dm/F#    Dm/F
"Oh no!" she cried "I never will."
         Am        E     Am     Am/E
And she left him there alone
         Am       E        Dm       Am
And the days went by, and days
      G      D        E       E7
Went by and they did long
Am        Am/G   Dm/F#   Dm/F
For each other every hour
      Am         E      Dm       Dm
But still she'd not be bound
          Am    E       Dm       Am
"In the places of young men
   F      D/F#    G     E/G#
I never will be found
     Am       Am/G    Dm/F#    Dm/F
But think you not that I don't love
        Am       E        Am      Am/E     Am/G     Am
For my heart is ripe and full"
      Am      Em        Am     Am
"How cold you are!" he said
     G        D        E        E7
"I guess you must not care
    Am       Am/G            Dm/F#    Dm/F
For me. But tell me, Where it is you'd go
         Am      E     Dm       Dm
For I'd take you anywhere"
       Am        E      Dm        Am
"Then come to a forest green
      G      D        E       E7
Where I may love you free
  Am        Am/G    Dm/F#    Dm/F
Beyond the confines of your walls
       Am       E       Dm        Dm
And beyond the sweetest words"
       Am        E        Dm        Am
"And beyond the mountains high
  G         D         E        E7
Beyond the fields of shame
      Am       Am/G      Dm/F#    Dm/F
And beyond the prettiest wedding ring
        Am      E        Dm        Dm
For I'd never take your name"
      Am      E      Dm       Am
"And wander with me now
    F     D/F#    G     E/G#
Or wander all forlorn
     Am     Am/G      Dm/F#    Dm/F
But know I love you, tearful one
      Am       E      Am       Am/E     Am/G     Am
Much more than I can show"
    Am       E      Dm        Am
He could not understand
    G           D         E        E7
He thought she could not care
      Am     Am/G     Dm/F#    Dm/F
"Oh, take me far away," she'd cried
       Am        E         Am        Am
And he could not hear her prayer
        Am       E    Dm       Am
And he wandered off alone
   G      D       E      E7
To never know her dream
     Am        Am/G     Dm/F#    Dm/F
And she still dwells within the forest
  Am     E       Am      Am/E      Am/G     Am
Longing for his love
      Am     E      Dm       Am
"So, wander with me now
    F     D/F#   G    E/G#
Or wander off alone
     Am     Am/G     Dm/F#    Dm/F
But know I love you, tearful one
      Am       E      Am      Am/G   Dm/F#   Dm/F     Am   E    Am    Am
Much more than I can show"
