High Noon

Written By Ned Washington & Dimitri Tiompkin

Sung By Tex Ritter

[E] Do not forsake me oh, my darling, on this our wedding [A] day.

Do not forsake me oh, my [E] dar-[A]ling [G#m7] wait, [F#m7]

wait a-[B7] long.

[E] I do not know what fate awaits me, I only know I must be [A] brave

For I must face a man who [E] hates me, [Am] or die a [E] coward,

[Am] a craven [E] coward,

Or [Am] lie a [G#m7] coward [F#m7] in [B7] my [E] grave.

[E] Oh, to be torn betwixt love and duty,

Supposin' I lose my fair haired beauty,

Look at that big hand move around,

Nearin' High [B7] Noon.

He [A] made a vow while in state's prison,

[E] Vowed it would be my life or his'n.

[Am] I'm not afraid of death but, oh,

[E] What will I do if you [F#m7] leave [B7] me ?

[E] Do not forsake me oh, my darling,

You made that promise as a [A] bride.

Do not forsake me oh, my [E] darling,

[Am] Although you're [E] grievin',

[Am] Don't think of [E] leavin'

[Am] Now that I [G#m7] need [F#m7] you [A] by [B7] my [E] side.

Wait a-[A] long, Wait a-[E]long,

Wait a-[A]long Wait a-[E] long
