🎸 Verse:
       G
Young rover are you planning to stay
    C
Or only a passer by the lady did say

     G                                 C
I'd gladly be here for the rest of my days

   D
If I could merely touch
      D7               G
Your fair lips he did say


🎸 Chorus:
               D
But he wasn't real, wasn't real
       C
Young lady I'm sorry you learned to feel
     D
For merely a mirage
 C
Only a dream

      D                  G
That man wasn't what he seemed

       D     Am Em   G

🎸 Verse:
        G
But he kissed her warm lips
        G
Combed back her long hair
 C
Promised without her he'd go nowhere

          G
Then she drank up every
             C
Drop of his lies

          D
And they tasted as sweet
                   G
As the finest red wine


🎸 Verse:
         G
Now the leaves upon the limbs have all gone on
     C
The pretty flowers have lost their blossoms

         G                          C
And the arms that once held her so tight

      D
Have long dissapeared
                       G
In the passing of the night


🎸 Chorus:
               D
But he wasn't real, wasn't real
       C
Young lady I'm sorry you learned to feel
     D
For merely a mirage
 C
Only a dream

      D                  G
That man wasn't what he seemed

       D     Am Em   G

🎸 Verse:
         G
So take warning ladies take warning I say
C
Be mindful of where your heart may stray

          G                                C
For it's easy for the sunshine to turn to snow

     D
But never let a man
             G
Turn you to coal


🎸 Verse:
          G
Keep the summer in your heart

The ice out of your veins
 C
Never let the real lose out to the fake

     G
For true love it will give
                     C
A false one it will take

 D                                 G
Never let a man drive you to your grave


🎸 Chorus:
               D
For he wasn't real, wasn't real
       C
Young lady I'm sorry you learned to feel
     D
For merely a mirage
 C
Only a dream

      D                  G
That man wasn't what he seemed
