CAPO 3
C majorC
I was all alone, we were young, you were like wine
Heady as the fog rolling in o'er the hillside
FF
Lovely as the song in the air as the wind blows
A minorAm
Opiate as the cold of the frost on the windows
FF C majorC
Lo, the rose is gone from my eyes (so deceiving)
FF C majorC
So, my little dove, I'm afraid I am leaving
(mandolin/ violin picking here)
C majorC (strum hard 7 times)
Now, I am not the fool I was when I was younger
Crocodile eyes, I have seen how you hunger
FF (listen to song for strum patterns)
Fluttering your lashes, like ashes and embers
A minorAm
Warm and bright as fire devouring timber
FF C majorC
No, I cannot trust what you say when you're grieving
FF C majorC
So, my love, I'm sorry, but still: I am leaving
(more picking)
FF
Even when you hunt me with ire, relentless
FF A minorAm
Batter down my door when you find me defenseless
FF C majorC
I will not abide all your raging and reaving
FF (strum once) C majorC
