Capo 1st fret
Verse 1:
E7E7 Aadd9/C#
I was just a curly-haired
E7E7 Aadd9/C#
mountain boy
E7E7 FF E7E7 FF
On my way passing thru
A7A7 DmDm A7A7 DmDm
I heard a voice whisper good evening
A7A7 DmDm
I turned to a shadow
E7E7
And saw her there
FF E7E7 Aadd9/C#
So all alone
Verse 2:
E7E7 Aadd9/C# E7E7 Aadd9/C#
She had those sad china eyes
E7E7 FF E7E7 FF
That sang each time she smiled
A7A7 DmDm A7A7 DmDm
Ah, but the song it seemed to linger
A7A7 DmDm E7E7
So long it deepened my love for her
FF E7E7 Aadd9/C#
Until she called me near
BB E7E7
And then we waltzed to our heart beat
A7A7 DmDm A7A7 DmDm
All around the sea was swaying
A7A7
The breeze was praying
DmDm E7E7 FF
Never to leave her alone
E7E7
Alone
Verse 3:

Oh, the time just slipped on by
E7E7 FF E7E7 FF
And with the time so did our love
A7A7 DmDm A7A7 DmDm
Ah, her every move just like a fever
A7A7
Just like a fever
DmDm E7E7 FF E7E7
