Why Have My Loved Ones Gone
Stephen Foster
Bb
(início)
Bb Why have my lov’d ones gone, Eb/Bb Bb Like the dew ’neath the early sun? Why am I left alone, F7 Bb While all their troubles here done? F7 Bb My days of youth have passed away Eb/Bb Bb And the shades of life are near, Eb Bb But I still remain to mourn the happy days F7 Bb Where dear departed friends were here.
Chorus
Bb Why have my lov’d ones gone, Eb Bb Gone to return no more Eb Bb Calmly gliding o’er a Summer sea F7 Bb Whilst I’m left plodding on the shore?
Verse 2
Bb Why have my lov’d ones gone, Eb/Bb Bb From the joys and pains of life? Why do I still live on, F7 Bb Alone to battle in the strife? F7 Bb Alone to struggle in the fray, Eb/Bb Bb Till my earthly cares are done; Eb Bb While the young, the fair have vanish’d from the day, F7 Bb Before their sorrows had begun.
Chorus
Bb Why have my lov’d ones gone, Eb Bb Gone to return no more Eb Bb Calmly gliding o’er a Summer sea F7 Bb Whilst I’m left plodding on the shore?
Verse 3
Bb Why have my lov’d ones gone, Eb/Bb Bb While the Springtime is on the breeze? Gliding the hill side farm, F7 Bb And breathing music thro’ the trees! F7 Bb The birds are singing in the air, Eb/Bb Bb And the flow’rs are in their bloom; Eb Bb All things around are beautiful and fair F7 Bb But still my spirit lies in gloom.
Chorus
Bb Why have my lov’d ones gone, Eb Bb Gone to return no more Eb Bb Calmly gliding o’er a Summer sea F7 Bb Whilst I’m left plodding on the shore?
