Emmylou Harris Alone and forsaken (Hank Williams) We [Am] met in the springtime when blossoms unfold The pastures were green and the [E7] meadows were [Am] gold Our love was in flower as summer grew on Her love like the leaves now has [E7] withered and [Am] gone. The roses have faded, there's frost at my door The birds in the morning don't [E7*] sing any-[Am] more The grass in the valley is starting to die And out in the darkness the [E7] whippoorwills [Am] cry. Refrain A-[F] lone and forsaken by [C] fate and by man Oh, Lord, if You hear me please [Am] hold to my hand Oh, [E7] please under-[Am] stand. Oh, where has she gone to, oh, where can she be She may have forsaken some other like me She promised to honor, to love and obey Each vow was a plaything that she threw away. The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray A hound in the distance is starting to "BAY" I wonder, I wonder - what she's thinking of Forsaken, forgotten - without any love. Refrain Note.
