Hank Williams - Alone & Forsaken guitar chord

Alone & Forsaken

By Hank Williams, Sr.

Tabbed by Gene Graham

Am

We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold

E7 Am

The pastures were green and the meadows were gold

Our love was in flower as summer grew on

E7 Am

Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone

The roses have faded, there's frost at my door

The birds in the morning don't sing anymore

The grass in the valley is starting to die

And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry

Chorus:

F C

Alone and forsaken by fate and by man

Am

Oh, Lord, if You hear me, please hold onto my hand

E7 Am

Oh, please understand

Oh, where has she gone to, oh, where can she be

She may have forsaken some other like me

She promised to honor, to love and obey

Each vow was a plaything that she threw away.

The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray

A hound in the distance is starting to "BAY"

I wonder, I wonder - what she's thinking of

Forsaken, forgotten - without any love.

Chorus
