Chords with lyrics
C majorC FF C majorC
I followed her into the west
G+G
Where I had never been before.
C majorC FF
And never did she see me as
C majorC G+G C majorC
I stood there helpless by the door.
C majorC FF C majorC
Each day my resolution rose,
G+G
And every day an oath I swore:
C majorC FF
Tonight I'd stand and be a man;
C majorC G+G C majorC
Tonight I'd knock upon her door.
C majorC FF C majorC
And shaved and pressed and cleaned and dressed,
G+G
I'd start upon the quest once more.
C majorC FF
But each night ended as the rest:
C majorC G+G C majorC
I could not knock upon her door.
C majorC FF C majorC
I paced my room and cursed myself;
G+G
I swore that I would go no more.
C majorC FF
When, as the sun was sinking low,
C majorC G+G C majorC
I heard a knocking at my door.
C majorC FF
And standing there with food for me;
G+G
Standing there, my heart's delight!
C majorC FF
Who said, "I thought you must be ill.
C majorC G+G C majorC
I missed you at my door tonight.
C majorC FF
"Now you must rest and you must sleep,
G+G
Your resolution to restore.
C majorC FF
And when these dishes you return,
C majorC G+G C majorC
Be sure to knock upon my door."
C majorC FF C majorC
I followed her into the west
G+G
Where I had never been before.
C majorC FF
And never did she see me as
C majorC G+G C majorC
I stood there helpless by the door.
