VERSE:
      DmDm
She went upstairs to make her bed
      FF         DmDm
And not a word to her mother said

Her mother, she went upstairs too,
          FF     G+G       DmDm
Said daughter, oh daughter, what's troubling you?

G+G DmDm   G+G DmDm   G+G DmDm  G+G DmDm


VERSE:
     DmDm
Oh mother I, I cannot tell
        FF         DmDm
That railroad boy that I love so well

He courted me, my life away,
      FF  G+G       DmDm
And now at home will no longer stay


G+G DmDm   G+G DmDm   G+G DmDm   G+G DmDm   DmDm FF DmDm


VERSE:
 DmDm
There is a place in London town
          FF        DmDm
Where the railroad boy goes and sits down

Takes a strange girl on his knee,
        FF G+G        DmDm
Says things to her he won't say to me

VERSE;
 DmDm
Her father, he came home from work,
         FF            DmDm
Said where's my daughter, what's troubling her

He went upstairs to give her hope,
      FF   G+G   DmDm
Found her hanging by a rope

G+G DmDm  G+G DmDm  G+G DmDm  G+G DmDm


VERSE:
       DmDm
He took his knife, cut her down,
      FF           DmDm
And on her bosom these words were found

Oh dig my grave both wide and deep,
         FF  G+G        DmDm
Place a marble stone at my head and feet


VERSE:
      DmDm
And on my breast place a white snow dove,
           FF  G+G        DmDm
Won't you tell the world that I died for love
       FF  G+G     DmDm
To tell the world I died of love
      FF  G+G        DmDm
Tell the world that I died for love
           FF  G+G        DmDm  G+G DmDm D MajorD
Won't you tell the world that I died for love
