🎸 Verse:

           E
When I was young, I had this feeling
I didn’t know that I would miss
           C#m
You were a man, I didn’t know
           E
For I was young, and you were old
           B                  A
when you were gone, I made my peace
           E
But I miss you

            E
When I grew up, It wasn’t easy
But you said, son, just bear with me
              C#m
You tough me much of family
            E
I miss the time when you were here
           B             A
You are a woman of great prestige
            E
At least to me

🎸 Chorus:
A          B               C#m B
But now,oh now I am on my own
          A              B                 C#m B
Its been years since I last have seen your face
         A                  B         F#m                B
Once you were there by my side, after all the tears have dried
       A                     A/B                  E
I have never felt alone like this, when you were here

🎸 Verse:
            E
It brings me pain, it gives me sorrow
I hope that you, don’t feel alone
           C#m
When I was weak, you cared for me
            E
And one day soon, when you should need
            B                A
I'll be the one to hold you, dear
                 E
You can count on me

Once you were there by my side, after all the tears have dried

I have never felt alone like this, when you were here
