English Sweetheart chords by Webb Pierce

Chords with lyrics

G+G
An American boy met an English girl
  C majorC       G+G
Far out across the sea

They laughed and loved and lived each day
A7A7           D7D7
Their life was full of glee

G+G
They knew someday he must return
  C majorC       G+G
To his native family

When it came and the aye was nigh
   D7D7         G+G
These words he heard her say

Please don't leave me here to cry
 C majorC          G+G
I watch as sweethearts flee

Seems so hard for us to part
A7A7          D7D7
And leave me here to grieve

G+G
Though I know you must return
  C majorC        G+G
To your native family

Tell me that you love me dear
  D7D7       G+G
And will return someday


He kissed her then he said goodbye
  C majorC       G+G
And slowly walked away

He could not bear to see her cry
A7A7            D7D7
It filled his heart with pain

G+G
She prayed and dreamed of his return
 C majorC        G+G
Although it never came

He wed anew in his native land
  D7D7            G+G
But inside these words still ring

Repeat #3 & 4
