Verse 1:
C                  Am
I saw you walking, I heard you cry
F                C
I saw you leave, I wonder why
C               Am
Were they all, cruel to you
F                  C
Break your heart, through and through

Put your head down in my arms

And tell me what went wrong

Verse 2:
C                  Am
Across the river, arcoss the bay
F                 C
People starving, every day
C             Am
Nearly naked, pale and worn
F                       C
With crowds of people, looking on
Am                    F
Hearts and pounding, heads are still
   G
As tears begin to fall, I'm dreaming

Chorus:
C      Am      F              C

Darling, hold me, never let me go

Am               F
All those ages, all these years
    G
As tears begin to fall, I'm dreaming
