Chords with lyrics

C majorC                 FF         C majorC
A augmentedA cowboy with his sweetheart stood beneath a starlit sky

FF        C majorC        D7D7        G7G7
Tomorrow he was leaving for the lonesome prairie wide

C majorC                    FF       C majorC
She said I'll be your loving bride when you return someday

FF        C majorC        G7G7      C majorC
He handed her a broken ring and to her he did say


                     FF        C majorC
You'll find upon that ring sweetheart my name engraved in gold

FF          C majorC        G7G7         C majorC
And I shall keep the other half which bears your name you know

                      FF       C majorC
Three years have passed he did not come and Nell will wed tonight

FF         C majorC        D7D7        G7G7
Her father said an Earl would make her happy home so bright

C majorC                   FF          C majorC
The lights were gaily glowing as they stood there side by side

FF           C majorC         G7G7      C majorC
Let's drink a toast to this young man and to his lovely bride

                    FF        C majorC
Just then there stood within the door a figure tall and slim

FF         C majorC          D7D7        G7G7
A augmentedA handsome cowboy was their guest and slowly he walked in

C majorC                    FF       C majorC
I'll drink with you a toast said he and quickly in her glass

FF          C majorC         G7G7      C majorC
He dropped a half of wedding ring then anxiously he watched


                     FF         C majorC
She tipped her glass and from her lips a ring fell shining bright

FF         C majorC         D7D7        G7G7
The token she had longed to see lay there beneath the light

C majorC                   FF           C majorC
Though years have been between us dear love won our last long fight

FF         C majorC         G7G7       C majorC
It's you my cowboy sweetheart and my Jack I'll wed tonight
