Song  - Down From Dover

G/BG/B - x2000x

D MajorD
I know this dress I'm wearing
    C majorC        G+G      D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
Doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing
D MajorD                    C majorC
When he left he promised me that he'd be back
    G+G      D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
By the time it was revealing
G+G
The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow
          D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
O'er the fields of clover
D MajorD
And time is running out for me
 C majorC         G+G        D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
I wish that he would hurry down from Dover

D MajorD               C majorC
He's been gone so long when he left
       G+G       D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
The snow was deep upon the ground
D MajorD                  C majorC
And I have seen a spring and summer pass
      G+G         D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
And now the leaves are turning brown
G+G
And any time a tiny face will show itself
            D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
Cause waiting's almost over
D MajorD
But I won't have a name to give it
C majorC       G+G        D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
If he doesn't hurry down from Dover

D MajorD                    C majorC
My folks weren't understanding when they found out
   G+G        D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
They sent me from the home place
D MajorD
My daddy said if folks found out
C majorC         G+G       D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
He'd be ashamed to ever show his face
G+G
My momma said I was a fool
                 D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
And she did not believe it when I told her
D MajorD
Momma everythings gonna be alright
C majorC        G+G        D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
Soon he would be coming down from Dover

D MajorD                C majorC
I found a place to stay out on a farm
   G+G       D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
Takin care of an old lady
D MajorD
She never asked me nothin
   C majorC        G+G      D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
So I never talked to her about my baby
G+G
I send a message to my mom
                  D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
With a name an address of Mrs. Elma Grover
D MajorD              C majorC
And to make sure he got that information
   G+G         D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
When he came down from Dover

(capo 1)

D MajorD
I loved him more than anything
  C majorC      G+G         D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
And I could not refuse him when he needed me
D MajorD
He was the only one I'd loved
   C majorC     G+G          D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
And I just can't believe that he was using me
G+G
He couldn't leave me here like this
                 D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
I know it can't be so it can't be over
D MajorD                  C majorC
He wouldn't make me go through this alone
     G+G        D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
He'll be coming down from Dover

D MajorD
My body aches the time is here
   C majorC       G+G        D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
It's lonely in this place where I'm lyin'
D MajorD                   C majorC
Our baby has been born but something's wrong
       G+G        D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
It's much too still I hear no cryin'
G+G
I guess in some strange way she knew
                  D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
She'd never have a father's arms to hold her
D MajorD                C majorC
And dying was her way of telling me
     G+G        D MajorD C majorC G/BG/B C majorC
